FCB is about to be dissolved probably, but their talent was subpar so I hope everyone is able to find a new home and become a bit more competitive, I know this post is extremely cut-throat, but sick of the know-it-alls in the industry tbh.

You must find it hard to relate since nobody's tired of Omnicom, which is also universally envied for its top talent

Lmao at the projection here 😂

Consultant completely missing the point. Textbook 👌

We’ve all worked at different agencies and networks and we know talent exists in all of them. Real people are losing jobs and their income, and finding new jobs right now will not be easy. So let’s not kick people while they are down, especially not by insulting their talent or insinuating they somehow aren’t competitive enough. We can do better, and we can lift each other up, not tear each other down. This will (or has) happened to all of us at some point. It is the one truth of our industry.

The irony is you’re sounding like an industry know-it-all.

You work in media. Every one of you is sub par.

In the long run therapy is probably a more productive outlet than anonymously shitting on folks who just got sacrificed to Wall Street, but I also know Omnicom’s plans won’t cover it so…

Respectfully, you guys on the media side are clueless to what goes on with creative. A lot of work across the industry is subpar bc it’s what clients buy. For every shitty ad, there were ten more ideas that were actually good.

Ok, Omnicom Media Group

Your weird salivating will end when you find out who’s taking over what at BBDO.

I don’t even like saying that because unlike you, I don’t celebrate big corpos cutting jobs. It actually is the opposite of a competitive market.

Subpar post.

Weird how so much of FCB leadership and talent has been put in key positions to run agencies and verticals at Omnicom Advertising…

BBDO NY & Chicago is being run by FCB leadership and most of the employees are being retained

McCann is being run by the Global CEO & CCO of FCB

The CEO of Omnicom Health is now Dana Maiman of FCB Health

But I guess all that talent is subpar and we need to be a bit more competitive ;)

I mean FCB is subpar it’s just that the rest of the agencies being consolidated are somehow worse
