Guess they didn’t like the model. That was a very long partnership.

I think you're reading this the wrong way round. IBM has become such a difficult client that Ogilvy walked away.

Not from an account that big. Not in this economy. Years ago i would have agreed with you.

Unless they were cutting fees below the bone and torturing people, they were trying to save that business. I do wish the industry were in a position to go back to firing bad clients though.

I will say that if Omnicom winds up winning this due to some insane cost cutting, we can firmly blame them for speed running this industry into the ground.

The IBM account is a fraction of the size it once was. This has nothing to do with Ogilvy, and everything to do with IBM being pissed WPP wasn’t buying more of their tech stack. It’s why the clients put the media for pitch at the end of last year. We arent repitching either bc we don’t plan to spend more on their tech.

This sounds accurate to me. They’ve been pitching AI-ish ad technologies for years before it was cool or real. Makes sense they would want their AOR to be a de facto customer under the guise of some type of business co-partnership.

I think, although can’t be certain, WPP’s PR dept had some input into the “Ogilvy walked away” narrative.

When I think Ogilvy I think principles and creative integrity.

How concerned are you about inflation? We have 70% savings rate and 50% of our expenses are housing / utilities of which the largest part is rent which is a fixed contract (no CPI escalation, no automatic increases, paying same rent for 4 years). No car as we are living in a large city. So if I look at the components of CPI and what’s rising I am feeling pretty „good“ about it. The one thing I am „worried“ is asset inflation but obviously that benefits me directly. What am I missing?

Do you have a set $ you save every month? I'm 27, I've been tracking spend since 2020 and my $ saved has very strong variances MoM. If we consider 2021 a more "regular" year, I varied from $600 saved one month up to $3.2k in another (though that was partially due to a job change)... It's not affecting my overall saving % (was 46%) but wondering if I should try to even it out a bit more?

Hi everyone,

I’m considering a certification in Lean Six Sigma. I’ve been a physical therapist for the last 10+ years and am looking to advance my career possibly into healthcare informatics or management. Is a Lean Six Sigma worth it?

There’s a lot of website and organizations that offer it with varying prices. What is the difference?
