The changes in Atlanta echo a broader industry
transformation, as agencies that built their
businesses around high-profile, high-cost TV
campaigns adjust to marketers' changing needs.

Editor's Notes
It’s a very exciting and interesting time to be in marketing communications. Traditional labels like “Brand Agency” “Media Agency’ and “Digital Agency” are blurring as agencies are rushing to transform themselves to get closer to budgets. Each type of agency is convinced they are the best alternative for marketers.

APPROPRIATE VS. CONSISTENT
Traditional “Digital” agencies now assuming full service integrated AOR assignments. AKQA, HUGE, Firstborn are becoming “Brand Agencies” the “Digital” moniker meaning less and less to their growth/client rosters. Edelman, the worlds largest privately held “Public Relations” firm is behaving more and more like a “Brand and Digital” agency because of the advent of Social Marketing. Meanwhile pure play “Social Marketing” agencies like Big Fuel who were the darlings just a few short years ago are being folded into “Media Agencies” because people realize “Social” is just another channel.
BBDO Atlanta’s brand new CEO comes from the Marketer/Client side and is transforming the agency to produce and sell the type of content marketers urgently need. Everyone is watching this experiment.
- there are no “hot shops” bc the market is flooded with new, qualified players but lacking a central philosophy and distinctiveness to cut through. As a result, it can make it easier for a Client to choose a ‘qualified’ upstart that costs less vs a premium - which is what a Brand can justify. Otherwise you are just playing with competencies in communications - lowest common denominator.
Storytelling is the thing that holds Integration together, simplifies it, and makes it memorable and passed along - just as stories have been passed down through history.
Sarkissian Mason in a boutique digital agency focused on e-commerce with particular strength in high end fashion
In 2009 e-commerce was beginning to attain mass participation. We wanted to us PR to create a beacon to attract brands that were on our prospect list. Fox Money for Breakfast widely watched by senior business executives and marketers ran a segment on Cyber Monday. Our brief to the president of Sarkissan Mason: You can say whatever you’d like but be sure to say “Zappos” and “Gilt Group” Cue Video File
. Some times you have to send the Beacons directly to your prospects. “God helps those who help themselves” Sent the clip over to Gilt Group and secured a meeting the following week.
Sent the clip over to Zappos CMO and secured multiple ongoing site development assignments
Interplanetary is a startup who were launching their first campaign for their first client while launching the agency brand as well. A complex task to say the least.
Coverage in all the usual outlets
Trade Associations spend $100s of millions of dollars: Chemistry Council, Milk Producers, etc. So we targeted the Trade Association of Trade Associations. Plus wanted to help further the professional ambitions of the LLS Client herself.
Associations Now Cover Story on the LLS client and the Interplanetary “Someday is Today” campaign. Agency and client both featured prominently. Created a Beacon for the agency.
The largest hand paint advertising mural company in the world. Very distinctive agency brand and voice
Cue Video File INTRO THE NOTION OF HYPER LOCAL HOUSE CAMPAIGN IN NATIVE MEDIA
