David Droga’s new role as CEO of Accenture Interactive has been a hot topic this week. While many wonder what it might mean for consultancies versus agencies, that may be a moot point as the two hire and acquire their way closer together.

It’s Time To Rethink The Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration
And here we are once again near another Hispanic Heritage Month (HHM).
