Back in July, I wrote about the green initiative that French communication group Havas was launching. My prediction was that other agencies would leap on board to try and seize some kind of competitive advantage.

The first to bite in the US, interestingly, is Grey, who announced a big initiative a couple of days back.



What’s surprising about Grey’s move is the attempt to try and become the agency world’s Pied Piper of the green cause by inviting other agencies to work and learn together through Grey.

While it’s good to see Grey leading the green charge, I doubt others will be happy for Grey to take credit for helping them out.

I now expect the green statements to come flying out of most shops before the holidays and for RFPs to ask prospective agencies about their green policies.

Posted by Ed Cotton "Design is so popular today mostly because business sees design as connecting it to the consumer populace in a deep, fundamental and honest way. An honest way. If you are in the myth-making business, you don’t need design. You need a great ad agency. But if you are in the authenticity and integrity business then you have to think design."
