Detroit Advertising and General Motors impact. What agencies are losing GM business in Detroit? Leo Burnett is losing Buick, GMC, and Cadillac. Commonwealth//McCann is losing Chevrolet. Epsilon is losing all of its GM CRM business. Is Campbell Ewald losing any General Motors work?

Am I missing something? I'm in Chicago, but my wife is from Detroit. We’re moving to Detroit for her career, and I'm trying to understand my agency options.

Unfortunately, it's a truly brutal moment for Detroit agencies. Monks and RAPP are in the process of setting up new offices in the city, but outside of that your options are probably limited to VML, Doner or one of the tiny local indies.

I believe CE kept the OnStar work, but given the general vibe of things I imagine they're not feeling super confident about it.

In addition to what MRM1 said, Doner put out a press release saying that they’re committed to hiring Detroit talent. So, that one’s going to be tough for outsiders at the moment. I would say finding a remote job is going to be easier than finding one in Detroit.

Can you apply for remote work at Leo and keep your job?

Possibly. I may stay here for the next year while my wife is in Detroit. She has an opportunity she can't pass up.

This is clearly more about PR for Doner than anything, but in this climate, anything helps:

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out.

Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
