Re: Will Ad Agencies Ever Make Products Successfully?

Some good points.

Ad-agencies might be down but I don't personally feel that they are out, just yet, there's still time and many are quickly adapting (just as they have done countless times before) to the changing realities of the Marketing / Advertising arena.

Of course there will be causalities along the way (some giants may well fall) but there will also be new / existing players who will rise to prominence.

I have to agree with the 2nd to last paragraph, many of us who work within the ranks of the ad-industry fully realise the changing landscape and strive for change, unfortunately more often than not our ambitions are rarely realised in favour of the status quo, the braver ones leave & set up on their own, the majority consign their passions to outside interests and work to pay the mortgage etc.

One final point least us not forget that Nike has spent nearly 7 years & a truck load of money on "advertising" (across all channels) to make Nike+ (and Nike) what it is today.

We lost the B-Team around Khoved - Altai, but they did make for good border buddies - and the fake gold came in handy with BitBob ("BadMan he rob your money").. ENGLISHHHH!!!! - After that is was pretty lonely, my advice is leave more than 3 weeks to do it.

Re: Why We’re Hiring Creative Technologists

Completely agree with the points raised and with Noah's comments.

In my short time in Advertising i've been a "Flash Developer", "Designer", "Digital Creative", "Creative Developer" & "Technical Manager" all of which have intersected at multiple points.

I agree that Sermad does have a point the job title - "Creative Technologist" does seem to be one that clients & management seem to be at least attempting to understand.

I personally feel that this ambiguous title will soon disappear as learning CODE become's more accessible and part of the modern advertising curriculum.

I'm of the mindset that the "Creative Technologist" of today is simply the model Advertising Creative of Tomorrow.

A vision of the future where building a prototype will be a kin to doing a scamp / demo reel / or mood board.

For now i'm planning to keep my self assigned - "Creative Misfit" title for a little while longer.

Re: Report: Teens’ Love Affair with Facebook Might be Waning

Teenagers will always be ahead of the main curve

I predict they will experiment with a few different new networks such as @bongal or Mingleville (UK) before moving in mass to the next "hip,big,cool,hyper,mega,thing".

I'm supprised there's no strictly under 25's network already in operation.. or maybe there is but like fightclub nobody is allowed to talk about it...
