It's hard to believe that 15 years have passed since Amazon launched as an online bookstore. Back then, e-commerce was largely modeled on the brick-and-mortar experience, but now the reverse is beginning to happen. Retailers, however, have been slow to adopt digital technologies in-store, resulting in antiquated and sometimes frustrating shopping experiences.
But over a decade later, two of the largest digital agencies, Razorfish and R/GA, have slowly returned to this vision. They're betting that a combination of the recession and march of digital to the forefront of corporate challenges gives them an opportunity to move beyond selling Web sites and banner ad campaigns to create new digital products -- and, possibly, new revenue streams for the shops themselves.

R/GA has codified its approach as "platforms plus campaigns." The idea is clients, many of them in commoditized industries, need innovation before communications. That way, they can develop a long-lasting digital innovation that campaigns can then talk about and draw people to. R/GA used the approach successfully in its string of new-business wins last year, including Walmart and Taco Bell.

Being intelligent is like having a knife. If you train every day in using the knife, you will be invincible. If you think that just having a knife will make you win any battle you fight, then you will fail. This believe in your own inherent ability is what will kill your startup. Success comes from the work and ability you put in becoming better than the others, and not from some brilliance you feel you may have within you.
So don’t believe that the brilliance of your idea is what will make you successful. What will make you successful is when you are out there every day, doing something new, challenging yourself, trying new methods, studying new ways, having a lot of small failures, then getting better every day.
