Do you need a creative agency or a marketing agency? Look at the most successful companies today, and you’ll see the magic of both agency types at play. Take Apple for example. Apple’s marketing believes that “ design and utility are just two of the reasons behind Apple’s success and certainly give it a competitive advantage.”. But drill down to Apple and its individual products’ success in the market spaces they compete in, and you’ll see that design alone doesn’t do the magic.
