Pay attention to the type of work they’re winning. It’s not creative.

It’s not their creative that’s winning. It’s the media.

Mmmm. They are getting some creative by offering that scope for free to get media.

Just like the good ol days

But creative is in there SOMEWHERE. Just curious what that’s like as an employee, regardless of discipline, at a creative agency within Publicis.

Fully agree/believe it.

I'm going to say based on some folks I lost to Publicis ....

Roles are open and filled by promoting people from other agencies. Those people are not always ready. An AD tried to get a promotion and raise via a counter from us and we said ✌️. I've seen it at all levels

Publicis has built their business on doing whatever the client wants. Yes yes yes.

The question makes no sense. Holding companies don’t have any impact on creative or culture other than to make it all generally worse. I say this having worked for all of them, including Publicis.

It’s so nice that every agency laying off people, have those left standing (and other agencies) trying to hustle jobs for their unemployed friends, but there are also a ton of people who were unemployed prior to Covid...so no severance, job hunting lot longer, and not earning income for longer time...hurting even MORE due to quarantine.

So I'm in a weird space at the moment. I've been interviewing with a lot of agencies in the past couple of months, and I keep getting the same response of "I need more agency experience." How am I supposed to get that experience if one of the things holding me back is not having enough agency experience?
