State of the Agency Market: What You Need to Know


Ad-agency employment has reached its highest level since 2001, agency stocks this month scored all-time highs and U.S. ad spending this year is finally in position to pass its prerecession peak. It’s a good time to be in the agency game — at least if you’re connected to digital.

Check out the spot below, along ith a few other recent installments from the campaign.
