Agency History 101

Hello my fellow marketeers!
It's been a while since my last post, and for that, I can only say that school, summer and everything in between got in the way....

But I digress.

I stumbled across this great link the other day that showcased the entire history of the ad agency. Yes, from the first inception of advertising all the way to present day (well, more like 2010) displayed on a fairly large and cool looking timeline. It tells of the beginnings/endings/M&As of some of the biggest agencies around the world from as early as the 1800s. I also noticed along the very bottom of the graph that the creators also showcased Internet milestones over the course of time, from the creation of the internet all the way to mobile data. Pretty fascinating stuff.

So spend some time brushing up on your agency knowledge, then go out there and wow all your friends!

Enjoy the sun, everyone!
