Doesn't mean to say digital solutions are always the right ones, but equally not as straightforward as TV / press / OOHKatyhttp://www.kitschbitch.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358338343107433165.post-40615696936909449432009-04-28T15:33:00.000+01:002009-04-28T15:33:00.000+01:00By the same token, there are lots of agencies who ...By the same token, there are lots of agencies who seem to subscribe to a similar philosophy, by refusing to hire a digital handler to work off-line or vice versa. <br /><br />Equally annoying when you’re on the other side of the fence.Cathttp://catincheshire.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358338343107433165.post-7059730437229476892009-04-23T14:21:00.000+01:002009-04-23T14:21:00.000+01:00Great post.

He had been told by a lot of people that he looked up to that digital was the future, and that his career would be better off if he managed to keep 'digital' in front of his job title, untainted by any of that nasty off-line stuff. He was misguided, and it was a shame - but there's a huge responsibility on the shoulders of more senior folk to ensure that they're teaching the people who look up to them the right things.AdLand Suithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11503065881496933925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358338343107433165.post-50595188425403747842009-04-22T15:05:00.000+01:002009-04-22T15:05:00.000+01:00Diluting his skill-set is like a refusal to learn ...Diluting his skill-set is like a refusal to learn anything else outside his comfort zone. Work isn't about favours and preference but I guess people have to learn it the hard way. Where was he all these years....in school there were things I'd have rather done but I couldn't choose so you had to them all.<br /><br />When you're that young, you have to comply, arrogance has to be earned if you ask me. But that's just my view. There probably are agencies who will have people boxed into one-two ideas. Or...perhaps I'm being too sarcastic.Andrea Nastasehttp://laralu.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
