I loved Chiat so much for so long, and got to freelance there for a while before it really started falling apart in giant chunks. Other than Gatorade I dont even know what they have there anymore. I heard Buffalo Wild Wings (shudder) was leaving. And that stupid Purcell detergent client--guuuh what are these trashy brands doing with Chiat anyway? I hear they just rent out space in their cavernous building to other Omnicom scrapple. Its really actually sad. It shows how creative integrity is valued in 2018.

Honestly those things you would love to hear about come with a grain of salt. Agency turnover rates are so high that I don’t think there’s ever a way to get a pulse on something like that. People coming and going all the time leaves things hanging in the balance constantly.
