Media Planning/Buying
EVOLUTION
Madmen
– During the Madmen era, advertising agencies were of primary importance to businesses and offered a completely integrated set of services under one roof, including a media planning/buying department, a creative department, account services, strategic planning (in some cases), production, trafficking, etc.
– Agency leaders like David Ogilvy and Raymond Rubicam were thought leaders and the right hand to CEOs, involved in virtually every aspect of thinking through a company’s marketing, from product development to brand positioning to store design, advertising, public relations, etc.
Disintegration
– During the next era, services within the agency became siloed, with media planning/buying becoming a separate agency unto itself, and other services becoming increasingly isolated, etc.
– Strategy and thought leadership was no longer the baileywick of agencies, and the age of consulting firms such as McKinsey and Bain began, filling the leadership void left by advertising firms.
The New Model
– Now, in our current era, a new model is emerging, which Wunderkind represents, where creative thought leadership and close partnership with senior clients is returning, and services are not under a “roof” but in a network model with less overhead and greater efficiencies.
– As Daniel Pink predicted in Free Agent Nation, talented creative and digital professionals have gone independent, but are increasingly collaborating on clients and projects of all sizes. Even some of the largest corporations and brands have begun to reach out to these more agile, strategically smart and creatively gifted models. It is indeed like “small mammals in the age of the dinosaurs”.
