With all the ongoing offshoring and externalization of tech, (for instance,much of Huge Tech was let go), what agencies do you feel have the strongest technical capabilities - in terms of building complex applications utilizing enterprise CMS, real-time commerce, SaaS and web services integration, etc? It is all small boutique vendors or do the larger agencies still have real talent?

I think agencies are on their way out from effective and meaningful use of technology. Tech giants are dealing with clients directly (cutting agencies out). Consultancies are tapping into making nowadays, and although they are not there yet, I struggle to see any agency truly differentiating in terms of tech approach and capabilities.

From what I can see, most agencies are just working on small web experiences and social interactive activations.

I don’t think any agency out there has the credibility to run “real digital transformation” project.

Agreed

Hard to tell. Huge did that to themselves... perhaps sapient ... perhaps r/ga

Hi!Would like to get some perspectives on the Walmart and Amazon offers that I just received. Slightly more interested in Amazon Fashion's work but it's offered at $80K less than Walmart...
A few questions here:
1) Is the Amazon brand better than Walmart that's worth $80K in TC?
2) Are Strategy roles better perceived than Marketing roles and will have higher long-term pay potential? (I went to business school where almost everybody wants to do Strategy...)
3) Is Amazon culture very concerning?
