Every week, Jack Myers shares his unique perspective on the state of the media and advertising business in this free video. Jack's full report and economic forecasts are available to subscribers at www.jackmyers.com.

Creative ad agencies have taken a back seat to media agencies during the digital revolution. The mad men era of advertising was defined by legendary creative geniuses who have disappeared or faded. While agency media groups have embraced digital, most of the big creative agencies have remained locked into legacy business models that will be progressively less relevant unless they accelerate their digital focus. That’s exactly what they will do in 2012 and beyond, predicts Jack Myers in this week’s Video Media Business Report. Expanded insights on major industry trends plus detailed economic forecasts are available. Watch this week’s Video Report and visit www.jackmyers.com/subscription-info for subscription information.
