Chris Palmer took the position of Havas Health US creative officer around 2022, and our Havas Health San Francisco office was the only healthcare office that was thriving in the network. The fact was he was tasked to fire and thin out the ranks after he lost the Pfizer account at the New York office. Only took a few months when our clients were moved to his New York team, then he was fired. Sad thing is, we ran an ethical and thriving business in San Francisco for decades until Palmer turned up

How are there so many imposters in the ad biz and how do they stay employed when I know so many truly talented creatives who are out of work.

Keep in mind I said they’re good at making it seem that way, but in actuality they don’t stay in their lane and champion creativity in the way creative leads did in the 60s. The part about missing great ideas is spot on. They’re too focused on themselves and what they know of the clients.

Chris Palmer is a jack ass, claiming to be creative but is a desperate man trying to pay for those Cinzano umbrellas in his back yard he sits in front of during zoom calls. I've been an ECD for years and I actually work closely with my team all day and night. And weekends if necessary. Palmer has zero creative answers for our weekly, monthly, client deliverables. Cause he don't know shit.

Sometimes on this app, I get the sense that people don’t know you can go over your bosses head. Instead of venting here, we’re about three people are going to read it most of them junior copywriters, since you’re willing to burn your anonymity to the ground, why don’t you go to leadership at Havas? Ask for somebody’s time and give an actual presentation of the before and after and ask them to invest in your office again.
