    And FYI creative and marketing services are usually the FIRST things to be chopped when times get tough. The bottom line for most businesses in the US is that design and marketing is an added expense and is not an integral part of their business culture.

    That being said, it's not all doom and gloom. Smart agencies adapt when times get tough. They help re-educate and re-train their employees for different disciplines and needs. But to think that because you have a salary and a steady paycheck that you can't lose all of that too in the blink of an eye is just naive.

    • On the other hand, businesses still do need creative and marketing services, even if budgets are cut. That's where freelancers come in.Continuity
