• Consulting firms like Deloitte and Accenture are increasingly being seen as coming for ad agencies' business.
• Their pitch to marketers such as Chipotle: we can help you with complex challenges, and can build digital products that can transform your business.
• Still, consultants will have to prove they can weave creativity with technical know how.

US President Donald Trump said on Saturday that "only one thing will work" to solve the North Korea crisis, although he did not explicitly specify what that would be.

"Presidents and their administrations have been talking to North Korea for 25 years, agreements made and massive amounts of money paid......," the president tweeted. 

"...hasn't worked, agreements violated before the ink was dry, makings fools of U.S. negotiators. Sorry, but only one thing will... Читать дальше...

Comedian and late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel spent part of Saturday morning taking potshots at President Donald Trump and his oldest son, Donald Trump Jr., on Twitter. 

Trump kicked off the day by tweeting, "Late Night host [sic] are dealing with the Democrats for their very 'unfunny' & repetitive material, always anti-Trump! Should we get Equal Time?"

Kimmel responded: "Excellent point Mr. President! You should quit that boring job - I'll let you... Читать дальше...

With employers reporting plans to hire 5% more graduates in 2017 than in 2016, it appears the employment outlook for recent graduates is on the upswing. Yet as any English major can tell you: Not every city offers the same opportunities.

Factors to consider

NerdWallet analyzed data for the 100 largest U.S. cities and scored each according to the environment offered for recent college graduates who are looking to get a foothold in the working world. Читать дальше...

As white supremacists prepared to descend on Charlottesville, Virginia, in August, the FBI warned about a new movement that was violent, growing, and racially motivated. Only it wasn't white supremacists; it was "black identity extremists."

Amid a rancorous debate over whether the Trump administration has downplayed the threat posed by white supremacist groups, the FBI's counterterrorism division has declared that black identity extremists pose a growing threat of premeditated violence against law enforcement. Читать дальше...

The Islamic State has been losing ground in Syria for more than a year.

United States-backed Syrian rebel forces have laid siege to the militant group’s de facto capital of Raqqa and now control most of the city; it’s expected to fall within days or weeks.

But the fight to liberate Syria from the Islamic State is far from over. A final stronghold remains in the east — the vast tribal region of Deir Ezzor, a remote swath of territory near the border with Iraq. Читать дальше...

Over the past eight months, the Trump family’s frivolity with laws and ethics has, at the very least, raised questions about how the family conducted itself before coming to Washington.

Bits and bobs and gossip from the real estate years have been floating around. Special counsel Robert Mueller is currently knee deep in the Trump empire.

And on Wednesday, a collaboration between ProPublica, WNYC, and the New Yorker provided an illuminating look into how... Читать дальше...

"I was traumatized," Robert James Kuefler told The Associated Press on Saturday. "What would you do?"

White Bear Police Capt. Dale Hager said Kuefler, 60, was charged this week with interference with a dead body or scene of death because Kuefler moved his brother's body. Читать дальше...

President Donald Trump’s trade team has come up with yet another way of trying to look tough while actually hurting America’s own firms.

As the administration seeks to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross says he is concerned about a purported decline in the quantity of US parts being used in imports from Canada and Mexico into the United States.

Ross, in a Washington Post opinion column, cited a new study by... Читать дальше...

It’s a sign of just how extreme US and global wealth inequality has become that even the folks on the winning side of the class war are starting to worry about it.

Citi Research has released a new in-depth report on inequality, its causes and potential solutions alongside Oxford University’s Martin School.

The report’s emphasis on "why inequality matters" is especially striking, because it reflects a widespread shift in American discourse about the issue following... Читать дальше...

Climbing Wall Street's ranks as a dealmaker is no easy feat.

Yes, you need math chops and spreadsheet-modeling wizardry. You also need to tolerate, if not relish, working long hours to close the job. Second place is a set of steak knives, remember.

But that alone won't get you far.

The business is all about building relationships and navigating personalities — those of your clients and of your firm. These skills are more nebulous and can take many years to cultivate. Читать дальше...

After Sunday night’s horrific gun massacre in Las Vegas, here’s a question that is at once lingering and pointless: When is it permissible to discuss gun control in the wake of a disaster?

Were we to follow Marc Thiessen’s advice and not dare discuss gun policy while bodies are warm on the ground, we would never discuss gun policy ever. There is, on average, at least one mass shooting a day in this country.

The bodies on the ground will never cool. Congress... Читать дальше...

What keeps you up at night?

It's a question you'd expect to draw a wide range of responses when posed to investors responsible for tens of billions of dollars. After all, it's not exactly as if there's a shortage of anxiety-inspiring headlines floating around each day.

But as Business Insider found out through a series of interviews, there's one worry to rule them all: the Federal Reserve's reversal of the unprecedented monetary stimulus that helped... Читать дальше...

On Thursday, the New York Times published a report in which several women, including Ashley Judd, accuse Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment. A lawyer advising Weinstein, Lisa Bloom, told the NYT that “he denies many of the accusations as patently false,” and Weinstein lawyer Charles Harder, who helped Hulk Hogan bring down Gawker, claimed that the article “is saturated with false and defamatory statements about Harvey Weinstein.” He also said that they are preparing to sue.

Facebook cyber security officer Alex Stamos took to Twitter early Saturday to address critiques that the social media company didn't think critically enough about its new policy to have humans monitor political advertisements instead of algorithms.

The new policy, first reported by Axios on Saturday, comes out of concerns over how Facebook ads sold to Russia may have impacted the 2016 US presidential election.

JPMorgan has already coined a nickname for the next financial meltdown.

And while the firm isn't sure exactly when the so-called Great Liquidity Crisis will strike, it figures that tensions will start to ratchet up in 2018, once the Federal Reserve starts to unwind its massive balance sheet.

If a reversal of unprecedented monetary easing does, in fact, spur a market crash, it would be cruel twist of irony. After all, it was that same stimulus that helped... Читать дальше...
