Dentsu’s acquisition of Tag 2 years ago was a disaster. Wonder what will happen with their creative production arm in all of this?

Pub buying dentsu? Or a consultant?

Looks like those details aren’t quite public yet, unless someone high up here knows something. Im just reporting the news haha

Was it Dentsu or Havas where the CEO recently came out and said “we’re totally not discussing being acquired”?

It was Havas regarding merging with WPP.

“Bold measures” means laying hundreds of people off every month. There’s barely any one left. A new crop of layoffs hitting 1/5. What will there be left to buy?

Holding Company 101

When a HC says anything in a public statement, know that the opposite is the actual truth. In this case, they already made the decision to subject their employees to a full blown takeover. They’re just working out the details so that the C-suite makes out like bandits.

I’ve made it 5+ years in a NY M&A practice and have consistent exceeding expectations reviews. I’ve had a few mental breakdowns because of work during this time, but thankfully made it through.

I’m scared shitless that I’ll spiral out of control both at work and at home if something doesn’t change soon. Any suggestions on how to keep this job and keep it together?
