A recent Ad Age article declared that “agency” had become the industry’s new dirty word, citing a trend toward shops using terms such as “creative solutions” and “consultancies” to differentiate themselves from the tens of thousands of competitors in an increasingly crowded market.
In this episode of #IndieThinking, UNCOMMON founder, Howard Moggs, joins IAN to talk about why that is, what the pros and cons are for doing so, and why it’s become a necessary tool of distinction as marketers seek out the right shop to partner with to meet their brand’s specific needs.
