In my MNC career for example it was never an option to step outside a network agency. | 0 |

Therefore the only bit of this episode that I see very diff from Tom. Am optimistic that there will be resurgence of demand for agencies that prove commercial value. | 4 |

Would be interested to see fresh data on whether the consistent YoY decline of 1990s -> 2017 has reversed at all since I left the sector. | 4 |

My favourite part is the bit about whether client side procurement is incentivised towards value creation or cost saving. That reframing makes all the difference how we price our hours to win more business. | 4 |
