IPG and McCann addressed it. They’re very in tune and always address the horrendous stuff that’s happened in the last few months, and make sure we’re aware of company support programs.
We have a meeting on it today even though we aren’t American.
Lol slow day?
I’ve seen some “wtf is happening” slack messages and “let’s pause social posts”but...no real response for us as humans.
Would love to have heard something like “if you need a mental health day take it” or, “if you have family impacted by this reach out” or idk SOMETHING.
CEOs at R/GA and IPG both sent messages condemning the storming of the Capitol and offering people mental health time to process the violence. The notes called out the racial aspect of the riots, both the double standard of policing white people and the way that the rioters wanted to invalidate an election that rested on Black votes.
Yes, GroupM addressed it.
Pub sent an email.
Yes, at Chiat NY. Omnicom email, too. Handled well.
What sort of response are you expecting? Genuinely curious.
Literally, any mention. Usually for major events someone will drop an article or a quick hit from the team in the agency or “from the higher-ups” channel. For this event, there’s been nothing. I find it odd that no one is even saying, “If anyone on our team has friends or family in the area who may have been affected...”
Omnicom and GSD&M both sent emails.
Huge leaders sent a couple emails and company wide slacks day of and day after basically saying (far less casually): “hey this is fucking freaky stay safe and look after your people and if you need time then take it your coworkers have got your back”
Grey did.
Yes. But nothing more than "we're with you and here to listen"
Yes
Ours talked about it with grace and poise. Handled well.
We’ve received an email from leadership everyday since.
I’m encouraged by those who heard something from their agencies/employers. I’m disappointed (to say the least) by mine.
VMLY&R got one from the CEO.
