    i've been thinking a lot about this and freelancing at different small agencies lately. getting a feel for how different studios are structured.

    one setup that i really liked the idea of for a very small digital agency (18) is:

    1 cd
    1 strategy director
    2 producers
    3 as developers
    4 flash designers
    2 account handlers

    and two teams of two each 'creatives'. just two guys who sit and think up the very best ideas for each job.

    at another place i have experience with, there's about 30 people. they're relying pretty heavily on freelance pm/producers because that's usually the fault in the system. as you grow and have bigger projects, account managers just don't quite have what it takes. you need pm/producers and a studio manager to really get at the meat of the problem, which is a bigger-picture problem, rather than a resource problem.
