Anybody catch that Breaking and Entering video yesterday where CBH was all smiles in front of BBDO, being interviewed by the guys on the day they had a huge round of lay offs? They’ve since taken it down but what an insensitive jerk.
Also, B&E covering the merger like TMZ while so many lose their jobs is so tacky and shameful. People losing their livelihoods shouldn’t be the industry’s entertainment.

B&E is pretty much just mouthpiece for agencies and networks.

They’re young and trying something somewhat new and trying to make a living from it. I get that it was insensitive, but I wish we’d have a little more grace for juniors in general.

From someone who’s never really seen it happen up close, I really was drinking the “everything will be fine” kool-aid, and it wasn’t until I got the email at 7am yesterday that I really realized what was happening. That being said, CBH should absolutely know better

Why are 2 young guys who haven’t worked a day at an ad agency reporting on what’s happening at the ad agencies? When they interview execs, they have no idea what that person is talking about AND can’t competently challenge or riff questions that the people consuming their content want to know. It becomes a little charade for ad execs who are has-beens.

Yes. IMHO it says little about them and a lot about how out of touch and callous agency leaders can be.

I met Jack earlier in the year and can say he seemed like a kind and genuine dude. I think they did misread the situation and regretted, hence taking down the post.

B&E is entertainment media. As much as i agree that it’s distasteful, let’s not act like media isn’t narrated by its buyers..

They are pure pay-to-play. Even entertainment media sounds like they have an organic arm that makes cool stories.

They make sponsored ads. I like both of those guys though. It’s a worse reflection of the agencies than them.

We interviewed a great candidate, extended a verbal offer and she accepted. We sent the written offer a few days ago but she hasn’t opened it or accepted (it’s expiring tomorrow).

I’ve been thinking about this for awhile now, but it is very to commit to actually accept a new job offer since I really do love my job. My only complaint is, the pay vs workload is very small. I’m a manager now and my property offered me a director position… but the salary is still low! To make six figures, it’ll take another 5-6 years to grind it out.

Should I move on and go to a different industry? Opinions are welcome! Thanks in advance.
