According to Ad Age, Hollywood’s oldest talent shop, the 110-year-old William Morris Agency, is partnering with a triumvirate of digital media, wireless and advertising executives to create a joint venture called Agency 3.0, a digital-marketing-services company seeking to marry digital technology to strategically developed content.
The new venture aims to “bring the ad dollars that much closer to the creative process,” said Greg Johnson, a former chief creative officer at McCann Worldgroup and Digitas.
Another partner, Steve Stanford, who created rival talent agency ICM’s digital media group, said, “Today, a show that has sponsors already in place has a much better chance of airing.”
The team will be based at William Morris’ Beverly Hills headquarters.
