“I think there is a misconception, especially that students have and I really make a point when I speak at schools to talk about the fact that you never really arrive. You are always working towards something but you never stop. I think there is this crazy idea that you get somewhere and then everything is cool.” — Dan Winters

"Throughout 2010, we'll see two types of media people: those who embrace change and reinvent, and those who dig in and try to wait out the recession hoping for a return to "normal." Both will have to fight through a flat year, but the former will ultimately survive and thrive."

Say no. Say it often. It may be difficult, but you owe it to yourself and your clients. Turn down jobs that don’t fit you, say no to overbooking yourself. You are no good to anyone when you’re stressed and anxious.

“Be fluid. Treat each project differently. Be water, man. The best style is no style. Because styles can be figured out. And when you have no style they can’t figure you out.”

A company’s hiring process is usually a pretty good indicator of what kind of talent it employs, and thus the kind of quality the company has. The higher the bar, the better the talent, the more interesting the company.

Public clients hire public agencies who go through rounds and rounds of strategy and rounds and rounds of creative. 50% of the time (a best guess based on my own experience), projects die. The other 50% results in garbage that any agency could have come up with in an hour (again, a best guess based on my own eyeballs).

I believe we’re about to embark on a new era of entrepreneurial marketing. Yes, it is out of necessity. But frankly, I’m excited about it.
