The Success and Failure of Design Inc.

Marc Hemeon

"The pay-to-propose model created the ability for both sides to keep some control and autonomy in the transaction. Designers would self-select which companies they wanted to send proposals to and companies had the choice of who they wanted to work with."

I hate MVPs. So do your customers. Make it SLC instead.

Jason Cohen

"MVPs are too M and almost never V. Customers see that, and hate it. It might be great for the product team, but it's bad for customers. And ultimately, what's bad for customers is bad for the company."

Oliver Birch

"In times of international expansion, this may be useful, if not essential, when channel effectiveness and messaging differ from country to country. For some channels, such as television or affiliates, local relationships are needed. For digital channels like paid search, an agency can provide eyes on the ground for companies which are headquartered overseas to provide intel on subtle differences in creative copy and techniques."

Sam Madden

"The deeper the skillset required to perform a service, the less likely the traditional Uber model will work within said service industry. The framework of the technology needs to be able to take into account the customization of any service or project needed, the upfront understanding if the pro is right for the job, and the flexibility of communicating the intricacies of any service request."
