I am pretty sure those spaces will be filled soon. For all the words said, I don’t think advertising is dead. The way it operates and the prices it charges probably is but the act of advertising definitely isn’t. I do find it ironic consultancies are so respected and paid so much when they produce even less than the average agency.
