I Work In China 
very nice article.
The match has not yet started until the battle is already raging.
Left: the Beigbeder generation pubard who has to get out of the TV / Print dogma and admit that a Lion at Cannes received in 1989 thanks to a licked work by JP Goude does not give better ideas in 2010.
Right: the digital native dropped in the agency after the bubble burst, who thinks that his 267 friends on FourSquare and the honor of having been the third French-speaking user of Chatroulette are enough to justify his digital expertise.
I just read with passion the Digital article: the doormat of advertising and I am delighted to see that many of us share the same vision.
My friend Olivier GUERIN would say: “this debate has been the same since the minitel existed! Strategic convergence is a concept that is gaining ground … but … it’s a very long way! “.
The difference between an advertising agency and a digital agency is great and essentially cultural. Unfortunately for digital, most budgets are at the mercy of advertising agencies and it is up to them to decide if there will be digital actions and how they will be.
Often, this results in the adaptation of a DA, so dear to the advertising agency, without worrying:
media constraints
the enormous opportunity that the web could represent for their client
In this context, digital agencies have no say … and of the overused “partnership”, the digital agency becomes a sub-contractor. Huge mistake !!!
We certainly do not have the same culture, but we are complementary and must act together on common actions.
The web allows much more than a sad variation of a “creation” often ill-suited to the media. And this is quite normal, because the Internet is not a medium, but a TERRITORY !!!
The job of an advertising agency (I’m going to make enemies) is to do advertising campaigns. And an advertising campaign is temporary. An advertising campaign is, to sum up: a strategy (hopefully) + a creation + media to display all of this. And once the media no longer broadcast the creation, hop, we move on to another campaign.
Very good ranking.
All these agency are famous.
GMA definitely on the Top.
Parklu is increasing then, moving from KOL agency to a digital agency.
Reflex group is not operating in China anymore I think.
I will add Bluefocus, Chinese ads group, and Publicis , even these agencies are only for big brand with million of budget (like O&G)
