Recreating advertising
Article Abstract:
The advertising industry is experiencing a shift in the market as clients indicate their discontent with the services offered by leading agencies. Marketers state that the usual ad agencies are now lacking talent and novel ideals for 30-second advertisements. An indicator of client discontent with their ad agencies is the changing hands of around 30 accounts between Jan 1998 to Oct 1998. Companies such as Domino's, United Air Lines, Kodak, Delta Air Lines have ceased to work with their long-time ad agencies.
