There is absolutely NO experience like real experience when it comes to marketing creatives. I'd rather sculpt a bad ass designer into a bad ass marketing designer than hire a crappy designer that's good at marketing ;)
Especially when you consider things like... calls to action, verbiage, layout, etc... all vary by industry/market.

it all depends on whether you want to make money or look beautiful. If you can have both, them better, and I'm not denying the influence of a well designed ad piece on purchase decisions (I consider myself a pretty decent designer even though I've no formal education in design), but if I had to choose only one of those, I'd hire the exact opposite one, I'd rather make money even if my site is done with Frontpage than having the hottest design to show my peeps and not make a single sale.
