To create new business opportunities for your agency, it is imperative to stay ahead of your clients and be aware of the possibilities of media in the near future.
It is the people who figure out how to work simply in the present, rather than the people who mastered the complexities of the past, who get to say what happens in the future.” Clay Shirky

Great piece Michael! I love Chris’ insights. What will be interesting is how traditional media and social media interact. Social media has tremendous power, but traditional media is still a major force for building brands. As traditional media becomes more social, the lines become more blurred between what is “word of mouth” from a friend and what is product placement that was paid for. The future will be extremely interesting.
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts Steve.
