Several comments leap out<p>1. To all intents and purposes this is a co-op model of an agency.<p>2. If the team could not break through to their employers that the employers were in the way and not letting a team of eight build something to help, then why do they think they can do this repeatably (is the value of an agency the ability to build valuable stuff or to persuade business to take the valuable stuff it needs?)<p>3. This should be the model for the future.  Damn it, succeed damn it.
