I just commented on the other board, and just to echo things. People often complain about selection in Ottawa. And when a new company is poppin up everyone is paranoid.
My question is this, how would any agency get off the ground if ppl were slammin them before they even started? Glad we didn't start when the market was so aggressive.
Don't get me wrong, sometimes, (many times) there are new agencies that flop. But there seems to be a few "micro agencies" that are operating recently, and many have some attractive talent.
I think healthy competition is good for the market, otherwise it goes flat and stagnant. ( we have seen it happen in Ottawa)
Some of our competitors look like they are upping their game. It will make us up ours and get creative. Clients win.
