A bunch of creatives were let go, but there have also account and strategy that left for other agencies.

They still have orkin, thomas', Reynolds hefty, wyndham as retainer and Miller and Mars on project. I've also heard thomas' and reynolds' were up for review and IMAX and Disney decided to continue to move forward.

Omnicom needs to do something as leaving DDB Chicago to their own devices isn't working.

Holding companies literally exist to extract resources that could have gone into reinvestment. They are a leech on our industry.

Molson Coors I think switched to a roster system for their briefs. So agencies can pitch for projects if they’re on the roster but no one is exclusively getting projects

Who developed the master brand strategy for miller lite? Is that still under DDB?

Omnicom the worst holding company easy

They all suck equally.

Well Leo made the most recent Miller spots. So at the very least they’re making them jump ball for them.

Don’t they still have miller and the army?
Actually, looks like their contract for Army is up

Also they’ve had Mars forever.

First time Dad and my 15 month old keeps running up the stairs at my in-laws place and they keep encouraging it. Stairs are almost 10 inches high with nothing underneath and I’m worried that he might slip and fall in between the stairs. My FIL is a bit of a know-it-all and keeps insisting it’s safe and I don’t agree. What do I do? Don’t want to fight the entire house full of people about this and kid enjoys it too much and cries a lot if I/we prevent him from climbing
