Reading: At SXSWi, how much should big media be listening?

"There is no low-risk solution to innovation. When times are tough, brands and agencies and everyone has a tendency to say, 'Well I don't want to experiment,'" said Patrick Moorhead, director of emerging media at the Microsoft-owned ad firm Razorfish, in a panel discussion on Saturday morning about innovation during a recession. "Our belief is that if you stick with what you've got, that's a bigger risk than taking a risk on emerging media and testing something new that could potentially teach you something."
