UI has come quite far. Not for nothing, there is something nice about the simplicity of these. Each category has its own little design. Reminds me of the iPhone home screen.
Here’s the short story: • Fast Company says Madison Avenue executives are struggling to stay up-to-date and there’s room for a new model to grab market share. “The holding companies will still exist, but around them could emerge a chaotic pattern of startups, independent talent, and connectors who thrive with minimum overhead,” author Danielle Sacks concluded. http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/151/mayhem-on-madison-avenue.html • While Bloomberg Businessweek says Madison Avenue goliaths have successfully adapted to the prominence of digital media. “After a couple of years of slumping fortunes, the Big Four advertising agency holding companies—Omnicom, the WPP Group, Interpublic, and Publicis—are bouncing back. As the global ad market continues to thaw, the descendants of Madison Avenue not only are alive but are looking as well positioned as anybody to capitalize on the digital market moving forward.” http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/10_49/b4206074203079.htm
