Read MoreMarketing Agencies Fail For Three Simple Reasons
It still shocks me that you need a license to cut hair or deliver milk in the U.S., yet no license is required to manage hundreds of millions in marketing budgets. That gap explains why so many agencies spin their wheels. My take is simple: agencies don’t fail because the market is hard—they fail because…

Paul McCartney is a master of the fake-out.
