We need more guys like this.

Thanks @hmargulies!

In this New York Times article, Google makes nice with Leo Burnett. These two forces are after the same prey — the consumer. But they are different species, with very different dna and now they are trying to get along. Could it be that the old model has something that the new model is missing? Or . . .
