Do you or your agency work with this brand? If so, and someone at the brand or agency finds out you spilled the beans, it could be bad for you. NDAs and whatnot.
You should, however, spill the beans here. FB exclusive.
Don’t tell them. Not your news to share and if the client finds out you leaked the news that would be really really bad.
Personally, yeah, I would find a way to anonymously leak the info. Companies/agencies don't give a shit about us and so many people get fucked over. Your friend shouldn't haven't said anything to begin with, but that's on him. Who the hell cares if it's not exactly kosher?
F CORPORATIONS B ANON SPILL BEANS
No offense, OP, but your friend is incredibly stupid for opening their mouth. I can guarantee it would be very bad for them if that news got out ahead of any communication with the Agency leads.
Don't even think about it; there's no upside for you in that scenario. Go about your biz...
Plans change all the time. They may never drop the agency and then you would have caused swirl for nothing. Or they won't drop them for 6months - a year but the agency knows it's coming and won't hire or promote anyone, making the employees miserable and the work even worse. If you don't know anyone at the agency, why would you say anything? Sounds like you just want the pat on the back from an agency that doesn't give a shit about you. Leave it alone.
Hope you're not in Boston.
This happened to me. The client told us they were firing a partner agency but wouldn’t tell them and the agency kept asking us about future plans and we had such an awkward ‘talk to the client’ response to them.
OMG tell usssssss
No, I just heard through a friend at the brand. But I suppose that could ladder back to get my friend in trouble if there was an investigation or something. Bleh.
is it me??!
Don't tell. But maybe give us some clues?? 🙊
BLIND ITEM: this beauty brand's best days are behind but that won't benefit the beleaguered broadcast agency that's getting blamed.
Would not tell the agency, especially considering you know no one there. You can tell us anonymously though!
No you don’t. Ever.
Ditto on the clues
Thanks for the input, all. I won't tell anyone at the agency, but I'll indulge the thread just a tad as a thank-you for your opinions. It's a coffee brand.
Yikes, to anyone who works at that agency on this thread you've basically given it away. Hide yo kids, hide yo wife!
