Just look to Mich Mathews, SVP of MS Marketing in last week’s Ad Age:

The same week Microsoft placed its choice account into review, Ms. Mathews raised eyebrows in the ad world with remarks made during a panel at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Speaking about the cost and time effectiveness of first-to-market campaigns like its ad on a Vanity Fair iPad app during last summer’s World Cup, Ms. Mathews expressed concern over the long process through which it took her and her agency partners to execute.

“After that I looked at it and thought, ‘Wow, it might be more powerful and cost-effective if we hire one guy to do this in India, and we would’ve just cranked that out,” Ms. Mathews said. “‘Should I be handling that in-house, or am I looking to completely change the structure of my service partners so we can be agile and do these things together?’”
