So why do company merges result in mass layoffs?
I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?
Anyone from Toronto ?

The thing that gets me about this idea is that guessing songs off of 1-second snippets was a TikTok trend… 2 years ago. And our industry is awarding it like it’s groundbreaking and new. Embarrassing.
I thought we all agreed awards are meaningless and dumb

Take your Cannes Lion to pawn shop and what they pay you for it is only what it’s worth.
A pawn shop would give me maybe $10 for 3 Grand Prix. But probably they wouldn’t take them at all.
An agency would give me probably 50-100k in salary bump for those lions.
So no. You’re very very wrong here.

If they’re going to use uncleared music in the case study, and then post it on YouTube, they deserve the copyright strike and takedown.
Ok. They’ll just upload it to Vimeo

Your extremely informed take shows how seriously you take advertising. The world is burning around us and the average pedestrian thinks we’re scum, but plz do keep shouting into the void about how important awards are to…. advertising ppl. Lol. Get well soon

Lol, you do realize that the case study being taken offline because they don’t have the rights doesn’t say anything about the actual campaign, right? Brands usually pay rights for specific media and even geography.
