Editor's Notes
*If nothing else, you must have a clear understanding of the nature of the work your clients are expecting you to do. In upfront discussions about new assignments or new relationships, help your clients understand the difference between higher-value and lower-value work, and price these services separately and differently.
*Notice that the left-hand side starts with Magic, morphs into Logic, and then changes back to Magic again on the far right-hand side. Agency work doesn’t just involve a “front end” and a “back end”; there’s an important third dimension – analysis and optimization – that should be factored into most assignments.
