We’ve all been told that we’re in a constant state of change. It’s a mantra that loses meaning the more it’s chanted in mainstream media, PowerPoint decks, business books and blogs alone.

Marketers and brands are finding themselves in new roles. Starbucks is a Digital Network (not to mention a music label). Razorfish is repping an Indie band. Best Buy, Target and Wal-Mart are TV networks. Interpublic Group is acting as a venture capitalist for Pepsi.

Skill sets are changing too. We find in addition to our core focus on a left or right brain role in marketing, social media alone is requiring professionals to get comfortable with a broader set of skills. Social media is disrupting silos in companies, media and the workforce. The economy is simply increasing the urgency of change that digital technology creates when it breaks down these silos.
