Although this article talks about consumer opinion about products and services, I couldn't read it without thinking that it applies to the relationship between agency and client:

Maybe that's why QuakerOats, according to this article, is making brand trust paramount in its marketing:
With more than a dozen lines of products using its name, Quaker Oats Company--itself a division of PepsiCo--is uniting all of its products under one tagline, with an image of the iconic Quaker Man image to back it up.
The effort--which begins in earnest on March 16 with television, print, online and out-of-home advertising--is the first time that all of the products have been united under a single tagline in the company's 130-year history. The tagline "Go humans go" is intended to evoke the oats as a "super grain" that helps power people's minds and bodies.

And in the meantime, Apple keeps shuffling along.
