Detroit creative is dying fast. The youthful are leaving, the old execs are lucky to find associate gigs. We are seeing a paradigm shift unlike any other in the Midwest. It’s losing steam — how long until everything goes in house or hits the road for a NY, LA, Austin or Chicago affiliate? We’re on the clock.

Unfortunately, you have summed up the situation pretty accurately. Paradigm shift is a good way to express the change. The auto clients, like most large scale clients in every industry, now feel/know that they can get marketing support from lots of places and lots of locations, and are choosing to do so. They have already taken in-house much of the “account management” and marketing strategy role, and are buying the creative, media, social & experiential work on 0a project/initiative basis.
