Increase your marketing effort?
According to research during the early 1990’s recession by The WPP Centre for Research and Development, businesses that maintained or increased their advertising spend during a recession gained market share significantly faster than when the economy was growing.

I am always a little sceptical of research sponsored by interested parties. Putting that to one side, if the research is right, this could have interesting implications for new business development in your creative business. 

What do you think, could you capitalise on this or are your clients reducing their spend?

I believe that the WPP Group have closed Red Cell in Glasgow due to the advertising squeeze and forthcoming recession. So do they not believe the research ?

It's even more complicated by the move over to 'advertising' on the internet.

As everyone tightens their belts, they will also look to get better value for money and a move to internet based promotion (whether straight ads or PR/Blogs/SEO etc) is inevitable.

There are going to be opportunities to not only increase your own or your clients market share - but also help them do it.
