My prediction was that other agencies would leap on board to try and seize some kind of competitive advantage. <br><br>The first to bite in the US, interestingly, is<span style="font-weight: bold;"> Grey</span>, who announced a big initiative a couple of days back. <br><br><a target="_blank" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/edcotton/1380581940/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1186/1380581940_853e193145.jpg" alt="Grey Goes Green" height="338" width="500"></a> <br><br>What&#8217;s surprising about Grey&#8217;s move is the attempt to try and become the agency world&#8217;s Pied Piper of the green cause by inviting other agencies to work and learn together through Grey. <br><br>While it&#8217;s good to see Grey leading the green charge, I doubt others will be happy for Grey to take credit for helping them out. <br><br>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. <br><a target="_blank" href="http://commercial-archive.com/Adland"><br>Via Adland</a><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>Posted by Ed Cotton Influx Insights 2007-09-14T09:29:55Z
