I’m heading to PHD next month to join the media team as a Senior Director. I’ve read a lot of stories about Omnicom on here so I have a general sense of the risk. Still, I’m curious what the experience is like for folks in the Chicago office. What’s it like over there?

Leadership at OMG level is a joke. But Chicago can be somewhat calmer. Just be prepared for co-working with other agencies, the small size means multiple groups on a floor.

Just remember that the agency of record is the agency you need to respect. People hate working with OMG because of the bizarre sense that that agency has that they are supposed to be the center of the circle.

Thanks for the feedback folks. Sounds right on with what I was expecting. I’m just gonna try to focus on the work and protect my people as best I can.

True. I just don’t want anything hitting my direct reports that shouldn’t be.

How’s it going in the new role??

Love to hear it!
