Adweek reporting Accenture a lead bidder for MDC... does this fix the “consultancies aren’t creative” problem? Or create massive culture clash?

MDC always let the agencies under their umbrella operate with little interference in day to day operations, I wonder how new ownership will handle things.

Well. The consulting industry and creative industry are fundamentally at odds. One is about advice and the other is about a bet on results (take that with a grain of salt). Creative teams will find themselves trying to convince their consulting partners why creative territories are being shown and not understanding the art and science of creative. Also, the consulting companies will look to pull production out to low cost centers. Taken together and then adding a layer of cultural divide..it will be a painful match. It took a decade for consulting firms to work digital consulting into the model and that is much closer to home. Make sense?

they just recently bought one german creative agency 100%. Does it mean that this agency will function now differently?

I just left a very toxic work place.
The crazy thing is they were just named the best local municipality to work for. It's upsetting. They advertise a "culture" but don'tapply it. It felt like a used car sales pitch, I was sold a dream but given junk. I am constantly replaying moments. I have read so many books and everything leads to they were the problem. How do I recover from this?
