Zaid who heads up Saint is a great bloke. Sure that you will have a good and challenging time. As you say highly ironic given your “end of the road” blog polemic this summer. Be good to catch up when you are back in town.

That was the week of changes (can you hear the musique of Scorpion in the background???). I personally turned the page and became a dad.
Congrats on the career move, and welcome back in London.

Apologies for late post, but I welcome agencies like BBH etc in cyber categories and they do good advertising.

But if you scratch the surface and investigate how these great digital campaigns come about it seems to be down to:
1. great client relationships and fantastic suits who can get clients to open their budgets to digital experimentation.
2. Agencies like North Kingdom or B-Reel whitelabelling for the ATL who picks up the award ultimately gets the credit.

And yes, there is a brain drain from digital agencies – but I have to agree with Iain – being digital in traditional agencies is not what it’s made out to be.

What is much more interesting than claiming that this is the end of online agencies is the infiltration of digital in traditional category stronghold: Sapient picking up Gold in Design, Tribal picking up Grand Prix in film etc.
