No, I’d wait to see how the Omnicom announcement from yesterday shakes out first.

Look cautiously. Nancy is an amazing leader and is a great replacement for Andrew. CBH has come in and started to breathe new life into the work. All really depends on the account you’re working on, if you have good leaders, and a collaborative creative team on the account.

CBH is a force. If history repeats itself, his team’s great work will distract from the operational and account headaches you’re about to experience. Find out who the strongest GAD is and work on those accounts

I’m currently at a BBDO office and the announcement from earlier in the week honestly doesn’t mean anything. I’ve asked around to see what the implication is, and it doesn’t impact us in any way that matters. It’s just a way to group the creative agencies as they’ve done with media and healthcare.

New leadership has big plans to gain new business, push the work, and create more efficient processes. There will be some growing pains but overall will be good for the health of the company

I hope that’s the case for the sake of everyone but you wouldn’t be told they’ll be mass firing people. They don’t want to cause panic and have people leave before they have decided who they want to keep. Streamlining agencies = reduction in numbers. We’ve seen that in every other similar situation.

Has anyone ever been in a mostly platonic relationship? I don’t like to label myself much, but I don’t really like intimacy and don’t really like romance. Some people would say I’m asexual/aromantic, but unless that too is a spectrum, I don’t think I fit squarely into that group. As I get older, I’m realizing I’m feeling very lonely. It would be nice to find someone, but have it be platonic (any gender/sex). It’s weird, I know. It’s hard to articulate as well. Can anyone relate? 😭😭

That little extra effort against something you didn’t “have” to do, every day, overtime will make you invaluable
