For many years, we debated and then delayed starting an agency blog. In April, we celebrated the Bateman Group’s Fifth Anniversary — a significant milestone for any small business. Looking back, I realized our first five years were spent quietly forming and refining our point of view on the industry. We’re starting a blog now because the time has come for us to actually share our views with the world. And what a time we picked to enter the industry conversation. Never before have the stakes of our profession been higher or the rewards greater.
