The big steal

Article Abstract:

Australian advertising agencies are concerned about a new breed of competition: the brand consultant. Agencies fear that some some brand consultants are not qualified, and that many clients are duped by paying for what seems to be a valuable service. Some agencies feel that brand consultants offer clients only weighty strategy reports and large invoices. Also, brand consultants may have more of an entree to the client's chief executive's office, whereas advertising agencies usually deal with a client's marketing department.
