“Shoppers, expertise and the business at giant are longing for a change in the way in which we construct manufacturers, in the way in which we collaborate and within the function we give to creativity. If the present gamers have set the foundations of the earlier century, we now have the ambition to set the foundations for the many years to come back.”

Effectively it would however the important thing query is: are they any good at it? Breaking down silos and all the remainder of it would simply imply a leaner organisation.

Underneath Clark the previous Dentsu MB has proven some encouraging indicators of life whereas one was by no means fairly positive what Isobar and 360i did, having a giant media dimension. Can the 2 be mixed?
