Are Creative Agencies Becoming The New Freelancers?


P&G announced that they will be using a dedicated holding company agency team, much like Ford and several other brands. Essentially the arrangement allows them to pick the best talent from multiple agencies and put them on a dedicated team just for their business.

The losers in this model are the agency people themselves (who now no longer have the chance to work on a wide variety of work) and the other clients of those agencies who may now experience a talent drain as some of their best people head into this dedicated team, never to emerge for other client work.

It is a shakeup for P&G, but it’s also a significant indicator for the rest of the industry about what may be coming from other large clients as well.
