WOULD YOU AGREE - "the good times of the 90's let aencies get away with making a less-than-wonderful advertising product that didn't always achieve what their clients need."
HOW ABOUT THIS FOR A GREAT IDEA? - fund a major research study aimed at better quantifying the value and results of advertising.
At the recently concluded 4As (American Association of Advertising Agencies) convention in Dana Point, CA, Ken Kaess, president- CEO of DDB Worldwide and Chairman of the 4As Board of Directors, said and then proposed exactly that.
Ken speaks for some of the largest, some of the finest agencies in the world. 4A membership peaked at 600 or so; reports have it down at the moment. But the truth is that AAAA member- agencies don't handle the bulk of the volume that's done.
For that, there are almost 30,000 US companies in SIC category 7311 (Ad agencies and counselors), then another 16,300 in SIC category 8743 (Public relations services) offering to help YOU with your marketing, advertising and publicity needs.
As a matter of interest, the majority of AAAA members are registered here @agencyfinder.com, but so too are many of the finest independents.
