The agency business came into being by doing things their clients either didn’t want to do or things the client believed they couldn’t do. As the magic started to fade, so did the perception of the value of agency to the client. There isn’t much a client can’t do for themselves now, so agencies mostly do what clients don’t want to do. It won’t get better.
Worse than ever. Or at least since I started in 2003.
I started in about 2014 and agree
Rising Star
I’ve been in this industry since 1995. I have seen ups and downs, and the one thing I know is that it will always go down, but it will always come back up.
The industry runs on cycles. 2000 was bad. 2008 was bad. 2020 was bad. This is headed that way, and with twists because now everything is expected to be faster and cheaper (thanks social media) more nimble, more engaging across many generational demographics, and a very different humor world.
Old timer here. It’s gotten steadily worse to lows that I haven’t seen. Creativity is at an all time low. My advice. Work at agency with people you like and try to make the best work you can. The pay isn’t bad. Better than some, worse than others. It’s a living.
