Curious which networks/agencies get freelancers on 1099 vs. W2? My own experience with IPG agencies have always been W2 and have had Omnicom do 1099.

W2 but it was at an independent firm. I was hired on FT shortly after anyway.

Most are all W2. Big states have all but obliterated independent contracting and all the agencies have nexus in them so they avoid 1099. Qualifying as one anymore you have to be a legit business. It’s sad. Once a very viable way to earn a solid income and have multiple clients. All in the name of “workers rights” It has not helped anything.

Omnicom is strictly on W2, and particular on what cases a 1099 will be allowed on. Also depends on the individual agency and what states they are registered to operate payroll in.

I'm a Canadian and I've worked two different 1099s. One independent and the other was owned by whoever owns We Are Social.

You can get 1099 anywhere.. you just have to satisfy the requirements. For me, 99% of the time I get 1099. I work with all the major holding companies and their smaller shops.

Has anyone ever worked at an agency in which the project management department was properly utilized? I traditionally was brought up in my career where PM type tasks were handled by lower level AMs. I have observed separating AM and PM tasks into two separate departments just causes communication issues and lazy account people. Account people should have a good understanding of how much effort and time goes into a project. Project Managers are missing a lot of context so blind leading blind.
