		<description>It seems that those of us at the coal face (I&#039;m a Digital PM) are keen to take the approach that the author suggests; getting traction from senior suits and company management and buy-in across the agency is surely the key to bringing this to fruition. 

The agencies I have worked in all want to play digital; but few have been prepared to really invest properly and provide a truly integrated offering for clients.

I wonder how long it will take to see some real change instead of the current cursory head-nod in Digital&#039;s direction.

The news has been for many years now that digital spend is increasing comparatively against ATL spend; when will it overtake it completely? Perhaps that time may be closer than we think, meaning radical change in agency land is not just a desire by a few, but a survival requirement for all.</description>

		<description>I agree! This post has been really helpful. I keep seeing this issue over and over in agency land and I am constantly surprised at how slow they have been at responding to digital. Clients these days need suits who are savvy both in online and offline mediums. I am literally unable to recommend a strategy to a client without incorporating some form of online touch point. Agencies to survive need to take responsibility to be more expert than their clients.  That is their value. If i can make one recommendation to agencies it&#039;s to educate your own staff. Digital is new for everyone. Drive digital education internally and you will reap the rewards.</description>
