Anyone know the details on Beast? I know there is some type of lawsuit and top editors went over to Optimus....

Whoah! I had no idea this was happening. I just spoke with Beast in San Francisco a few days ago. No indication that there’s trouble, but they are so far removed from Deluxe that I rarely even think of them as associated. If you’re wondering, Beast in San Francisco is an excellent shop with wonderful staff. I hope the mess doesn’t reach them. Damn...

I heard they are involved in a lawsuit but it is targeted at a larger holding company in NY. And their involvement is based on bidding practices of the holding company's agencies. But maybe this is a different lawsuit?

It’s a complicated web of greediness.

Deluxe is a despicable company run by a bunch of cavemen. Shame on Deluxe brass for closing the Chicago office and putting 25+ hard working people out of a job. Deluxe Entertainment is deplorable.

Total bullshit move. Deluxe has bastardized three good companies and made them into a shell of themselves. A prime example of how a holding company can ruin a company/agency.

I heard that Stefan Sonnenfeld bought Company 3 back from Deluxe and kicked Method out of their joint space in LA.

Not totally sure but I believe they are being reabsorbed, and the method/co3/beast threeway is disentangling.

Holding company is Deluxe Entertainment so they may be at the forefront of the lawsuit?
