Has anyone worked on the J&J account at IPG before it moved to WPP? Was wondering what the day to day looked like and if they were a relatively low lift account or they grinded you out?
Thanks!

Worked on one of their milk brands a few years ago. Wouldn’t say it was a low lift. But it was definitely towards less work. Definitely remember not working late nights on it. Client also wanted average work and play safe.

Have had colleagues and friends who have worked on both J&J and Kenvue. From what I've heard and witnessed, not a heavy lift - more typical CPG/wellness that has a long lead time with tons of research and rounds of approval.

It's also not as (overly) structured as P&G in process, which is great since you can bring your process to it. However, if you or your team just follow the client's lead, your experience will totally depend on the client team you work with.

Has WPP officially staffed the account or are they going to put people from Coke here ? I know they just won the account in December

Wait WPP lost creative too? I thought it was only media under review

Depends on the accounts/brands. J&J Vision was a beast and not super fun. I got lucky enough to work in one interesting project, but it was tons of digital banners and shopper marketing.

Yep. Had one J&J project (not at FCB) before. Client seemed not to care anymore and didn’t even bother to hear some good ideas but just to get the work done (also not a lot of work)

Worked on the J&J account at IPG. Wasn't a fan of the corporate account at all. The Manager of Social Media Strategy and Partnerships is an idiot to put it nicely. Their strategy didn't make sense, they weren't open to hearing new ideas, had an external agency double checking work as well. The clients on the Pharma side were 1000x better. Great work was done with them. The Pharma clients were human, liked to learn and honestly advocated for the agency and the work. If you can choose i’d go the pharma side and avoid corporate

I had a pretty shitty workload and work life balance honestly but that could’ve been just the way my team was set up. I was managing like 20-25 accounts with only an AD and Director above me

When I moved in-house a year ago as a BigLaw mid-level, I took a 45% pay cut, far more than I was comfortable with (although I was fine with a 20-30% cut). I took the job because it was a great role and I was focused on making the jump in house and developing the skills I wanted, which required me moving away from my firm practice area. Now that my year-end review is coming up, how do I ask my company for a significant pay raise (not just a 2-5% inflation-matching raise)?
