IAYD launched a month after this competition ended, but we thought this was just too awesome not to mention. Last year CNN Money’s Assignment Detroit asked five Detroit advertising agencies: Why would anyone smart, young, and creative move to or stay in Detroit? Which we’re geeked about, because that’s precisely the question we’re trying to answer with this blog. It’s very interesting to see their different takes on the question.
