Well, first off, ad firms that compete and bid on jobs or do presentations are doing so in hopes to gain a 6 or 7 figure contract. It's not worth a designers time to write up a proposal for a $1,000 gig. Especially since if they're any good, there's another job waiting for them anyway.

As for your points about fancy design and price being the only criteria.. that's true of most. A lot of people just care about price and they ultimately pay more in the long run when they realize the low end design they bought sucks and need to pay for another one. That's why I don't see outsourcers as a threat. Most are so bad that anyone who uses them eventually realizes they need a real designer.

I've actually done hosted galleries for a lot of programs who were referred to me by other programs who had success with my designs. My portfolio is just there as a sample. I think designers who actually know this business and have proved it will always have work and the rest will be forced to scour gfy for any shitty job they can find.
