June 2008 — Present (2 months)
AgencyCritique is my web strategy consultancy for advertising agencies. While I still own Newfangled and provide strategic guidance, the bulk of my attention has now shifted to AgencyCritique. I've been working with advertising agencies for my entire career. At Newfangled it was a pleasure to help agencies with web development. But I've seen the trends in web strategy growing much faster than most agencies are keeping up with. AgencyCritique helps agencies catch up and thrive rather than dive in this rapidly changing, Internet oriented marketing environment.
