For instance, another &#8216;ism\u2014ageism\u2014is directly connected to this problem. As one grows and ripens in this business, one acquires more skills, which makes one more productive and more valuable, but also more expensive.<\/p>\n<p>The real reason we don&#8217;t see many people over 40 in agencies these days, is so utterly simple. The client won&#8217;t pay for them, so the agency won&#8217;t employ them.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to race and gender, it&#8217;s not about money, it&#8217;s about the white men in charge, maintaining established order, and decades of bad patterns. Some of these white men want to change, but wanting to change is not the same thing as committing to it. To commit to change, it requires new actions not just hollow messaging that goes nowhere.<\/p>\n<h2>Sticker Mule Finds the Way<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/stickermule.com\">Sticker Mule<\/a> isn&#8217;t playin&#8217;.

Ad agencies and others who serve brands do wrong when they mimic the client. I&#8217;ve watched this happen several times over. Agencies tend to adopt their client&#8217;s culture to help make the client feel better. That&#8217;s a bad idea. Many clients I know don&#8217;t need to feel better, they need to <em>be<\/em> better.<\/p>\n<p>The agency, like any consultant, isn&#8217;t there to hold the client&#8217;s hand or any other part of their anatomy. The agency is there to kick the client&#8217;s behind into gear. To wake the client up. To provoke the client to think bigger and do more. I know that&#8217;s not how most agency people behave today. I&#8217;m suggesting it&#8217;s how ad people must behave now to regain credibility with our clients and relevancy with their customers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some people and brands took the day off yesterday.
