Strategic Leadership //

Our strategy department is fond of saying “it’s better to be smart than British.” (Our British guy is fond of saying “piss off” in response.) So we have not only consumer strategists, but more specialized strategists that are frighteningly thoughtful about interactive, corporate citizenship, PR, unconventional media, social issues, direct and data analysis. Yet they’re still fun at parties.
