    Hayoth, to continue on your other thread...

    I think we're going to continue to see agencies' business fragmented.

    —Media planning and buying has been outsourced as a discrete function for years now. So the media budget is going there.

    —Production and design will definitely be outsourced. Dedicated UI/UX shops, design studios, production studios, and freelancers

    —Consultancies have always stuck their nose in strategy, and now they're taking away accounts

    I really don't see a place for big agencies.

    I'm not rooting for their demise. I think agencies have largely been ruined by their holding companies (WPP deserves a lot of the blame for this). And so their output has suffered, and the value they bring has been diminished.
