It is unclear if cds the traditional agencies will be nimble enough to halt a slow decline. Already, many famous names are vanishing: N.W. Ayer; Bates; Bozell; D’Arcy Masius Benton & Bowles; Earle cds Palmer Brown; Lintas; Warwick Baker O’Neill. The big agencies also face cds hip, new rivals, which have pounced on the opportunity to steal business. Those boutiques use their oddball names - like 180, Amalgamated, Mother, Nitro, Soul, StrawberryFrog, Taxi and Zig - as branding devices to signal they are not about business as usual. These so-called “oddball” names do quadruple duty — they demonstrate a different mindset and approach, they are less confusing, and they provide the agencies with a wealth of imagery for years to come in their own promotional campaigns. Such names also end the endless problems that ad agencies named for founders incur when there’s a shake up at the top. The problem with a name like, “Bartleby, Scrivner, + Budd” is that when Bartleby is sacked for ethical transgressions that make their way into Adweek, the agency suddenly becomes Scrivner, Budd, Typee + Omoo, until of course the lusty affair between Scrivner and Typee culminates in a full-blown sexual harassment suit.
