How is CoLab these days? I freelanced there a long time ago. As infuriating as I found the dysfunction, it was also rather entertaining.

What’s the worst that could be happening? I mean is it like starting jobs with no briefs and doing it over a million times and the once more for MLR and the overnights and weekend and holiday work? Is that only CoLab?

Work life balance is supposedly the worst in the business.

Publicis CoLab just laid off a 100 to 150 more people today. Have laid off about 400 to 500 in the past 11 months. They keep having company wide meetings claiming they are "restructuring" every few months. First was last October, then December, then February, then May, now again in September. Company morale is horrible. No one feels safe or connected to the company.

Just a matter of time before Pfizer pulls the plug on this experiment.

They legit laid off 100 people yesterday.

I’ve been having a super hard time concepting lately, especially knowing that the “concept” will mostly serve as a sticker to slap on the cover of a CVA and the top of a website. I feel like every pharma concept I’ve ever seen or created becomes so cheesy once it appears in tactics. Does anyone have any examples of HCP creative (non-DSA) that is both impactful and translates well into pharma tactics?
