I suspect that the more prolific bloggers in the plannersphere do spend a rather disproportionate amount of time blogging, which could arguably be spent on 'real' work for clients. But I find blogging a perfectly acceptable way of refining one's thoughts and trying out ideas before they get used on a client's business. If you were a client, you would want the guys looking after your brand to be interesting and have a point of view on the way the world works. A blog is a sort of client retention mechanism. Actually, I think it should be part of a planner's job spec TO write a blog - show your clients that they have hired the right sort of agency. - Mark Hancock
