WE SAY: No agency is chasing digital like Big George is chasing digital, with a string of acquisitions and partnerships that add interactive chops to a menu that has been top-shelf for years. A new Nashville office expands production and serves as the home of a new entertainment unit focused on sports and entertainment.

RECESSION BUSTER: Put a priority on data. Collect more of it, and learn from it. The result will be key learnings that will help you waste less money on under-performers in the portfolio.
