WE SAY: The world's fastest-growing independent agency network is doin' well here in the States, with solid sponsorship work for the likes of Sony Ericsson and ingenious pop-up stores for such clients as MTV (loved that pop-up in Los Angeles, kids). Opened new offices in Portland and Atlanta and introducing new youth-targeting offerings. Also investing in research and analytics.

RECESSION BUSTER: Move dollars from "trial" into conversion. Invest in the bottom-half of the purchase funnel—not just the top.
