I thought he gave a good presentation as well. Much of what he says is true - ad agencies are NOT looking at the Total Picture, with, in my opinion digital agencies still relegated to after-thoughts and table scraps and traditional agencies hoping that they will be able to retire before the real sh*t hits the revenue fan.
