    private sector clients are spending their own money. I'm all for better Design thinking and production all through society, but this isn't it - bit busy today to go into detail but put it this way: I'd much rather the street signage system was overhauled by a good, intelligent design agency than my council had a great new brand and thousands of posters up saying how well they were doing. That's design that fundamentally helps people day to day. To me a lot of this is branding snake oil which is very useful to drive sales (essentially) in a consumer market, but strikes me as akin to spin when applied to publicly funded civil service departments.
