Turning the tables on Marketers

I was on a panel today at the iMedia Brand Summit with marketers from Taco Bell, Kaiser Permanente, A&E Television and Black & Decker. While the panel was to share "Marketers Needs" to the audience (primarily made up of publishers and agencies), I thought the most interesting question from he audience was one that turned the tables..."Why do Marketers Make It Hard On Agencies and Publishers."

I think that while marketers demand "best in class", integrated campaigns and leading edge social media executions, many (or most) of us aren't ready from the client-side to deliver on our half of the proposition. Easy to say "bring it on", but many marketers are stuck in their ways and aren't evolving as fast as they'd like.
