An Interesting Take On The Stimulus Plan
fred-wilson:
People will legitimately debate the role of Roosevelt’s programs in pulling us out of the great depression.

One of their bigger clients is AMEX, the majority of the work that I’ve seen is site based. My 2 cents, not the sexiest shop in the free world but worth a peek http://www.digitas.com/
