On this week’s episode of Adweek’s podcast Yeah, That’s Probably an Ad, we discuss independent creative agency Barton F. Graf deciding to close its doors. The agency was known as one of the weirdest in the business—so what does its demise mean for other small shops and the industry as a whole?

Also, it’s time for a mid-year brand check-up: Which brands are breaking out, which have been quiet, and why?
