I went to see The Devil Wears Prada 2 because my wife wanted to go. I expected fashion.

The Agency Model Is Breaking. Infrastructure Is Replacing It.
The Agency Model Is Breaking. Infrastructure Is Replacing It. For nearly two decades, companies hired marketing agencies to produce activity. Agencies produced posts, ads, videos, landing pages, campaigns, and funnels. For a long time, that activity was enough to create the perception of growth.
