They rebranded foreskins with the 72 name. They’re most likely cleaning house and wanting to restaff with the right people to move forward.

Still sad to see though.

I just interviewed over there for a strategy director position. Am I now glad I was not hired, mild yes.

Do they even have any clients left?

That’s really unfortunate, but I don’t think the layoffs are just restricted to that one agency if you’ve been paying attention to the industry.

Blame AI

I work at another agency and was laid off first week of Jan. It's happening everywhere.

Hi, this is mostly a question for account management and strategists. I’ve been in advertising for a while, and am back in this market after working in others. The main thing I’m noticing that is driving me bonkers is the lack of client talent here. Across the portfolio I oversee it is very rare to get a client that understands how to brief an agency partner (creative or media or pr); there is limited capacity to really focus on objectives other than tactical KPIs.
Is this common/any advice?
