Gotta think W&K has to open a Chicago office to service McD’s. What positions do you think they would staff up on?

Wieden doesn’t have to do anything.

They make the rules, they don’t bend to them.

Really hope they do so I can add it to the list of places that reject me

W&K New York is way different than Portland. They don’t get to make any rules.

It’s being serviced out of NY.

That's what the remaining staff at WAU are for, daily operations, below the line, and whatnot

Doubtful. It’s a 2 hr flight, and NY is abundant with advertising talent, (and diverse talent). Not a pitch, most work reviewed, routed, & approved electronically now. They’re not presenting bread & butter work in person in a regular basis. Pitch over.

Nope. Won’t be doing that and definitely not for McDonalds.
