It's all about digital innovation this week, with Andre Steenekamp writing that SA's ad industry must not regress to using outmoded digital metrics for ROI - if you're one of the agencies regressing to click-through rates as their key measure for success, best you rethink your measurement strategy as the world speeds towards doing everything online.

Do your research, rethink your strategy... go forth and innovate!
