The full service trend is hitting design agencies that are shifting to a broader approach of creativity. Thierry de Baschamakoff, founder of the Aesthete agency tells Premium Beauty News that designers have to adapt themselves to the new economic context.
Thierry de Baschmakoff - Yes, there are more and more design agencies offering a full range of services. Actually, there is no alternative. Most of the agencies that did not opt for diversification do no longer exist.
