Forrester: The Connected Agency

Forrester Research recently published an 18-page report/detailed thought-piece provocatively titled ‘The Connected Agency’, discussing the model they foresee successful advertising agencies migrating towards to overcome many of the disruptive influences and changes in consumer behaviour we’re seeing.
Needless to say we were interested in exploring these issues and challenges with one of the authors of the report. And we roped in Tony Effik, planning head at a digital agency, to better understand the ramifications not just for the advertising world but also for brand marketers, and for media, marketing and research agencies.
It’s not a pretty picture…
UPDATE: In the podcast we mention that the report’s free. Actually, it was free for a while but now they’ve started charging!
