why do businesses, with strategic anchors based in servicing clients marketing needs, think they can become tech. development agencies – its the quickest way to bankrupcy

these are good examples not of technology, but of agencies scrabbling for a different business model cos they know the lick and stick they’ve done (and over charged for) for the last 10 years isn’t going to keep the lights on anymore!

very much enjoy your blog btw…

It’s the PR person’s job to make sense of the data not gather it.

Our view over at Converseon is that technology and communications have become so intertwined that the “agencies of the future” need strong development skills. It’s no longer “are you a services or technology company?” It’s both. They’re inextricably intertwined. Im sure we’ll be seeing much more out of agencies like Voce and Converseon over time. Appreciate your insights.
