Hi fishes! I volunteer with The Art of Good, a creative collective helping small businesses affected by the pandemic. They are seeking a little help from a media professional. Need an SEM POV for a small business looking to change their name and relaunch their brand. This is non-paid. More about giving back while in-between gigs. :) If you can help out or want to learn more, please reach out to me via LinkedIN. Thank you!! www.linkedin.com/in/karenkohn/

If you’re in a mid-career stage, then you’re best to find a new gig. SR_P.S is great if you’re entering the workforce and need to learn under fire, and great for those SVP+ people who have slogged through 15+ years. But mid-career folks, now? Wrong place, wrong time. You’ll go nowhere.
They did NOT stay they are shutting down SRF. They said they are going to shut down the brand and just go with P.S. which is what we essentially are
^ thank you. they’re just rebranding, not shutting down the company
Sapient Not-Razorfish is dead. Go work for someone else.
It’s funny that Leo Burnett is talking smack about SR “shutting down” but when Publicis acquired us we were growing by 14% YoY. Publicis overall was 1%. We are more productive for Publicis than Leo is. Yes, a rebrand to Publicis.Sapient noting both PUBLICIS and SAPIENT in the same name. Doesn’t sound like they’re diminishing the brand, does it?
Bump in pay would be nice, but if you are burnt out doing the job of the title you want already, just having the title will not help that.
Yes. Let the dust settle for a month or so
Well since SR is getting shut down soon, I’d say you should start looking elsewhere ASAP. Plus, having that offer will help your negotiation. But honestly, since SR is getting shuttered, is it worth it?
@BBDO Because Publicis Groupe said they were shutting it down. They stated that the layoffs were in preparation for closing it.
I’ve been applying for other jobs since I started working here. No bites. I have a really great book but I’m not sure what gives
SR6 - Let’s not fight with each other. We’re likely to all lose our smaller brands and become one under each of the four Publicis hubs.
Chill Leo’s. Nothing is getting shut down, it is just a rebrand to P.S. The SR brand was only ever intended to be an interstitial bridge to massage the bruised razorfish egos, a damaging and expensive hiccup in the company history for sure.
@OP If your role is aligned to the DBT strategy you shouldn’t worry, but if you’re underpaid you should be making a business case for your raise- don’t expect someone else to do it for you. Make sure you, your work and impact is visible to a variety of leaders. Promos and pay increases are more art than science in every business.
SR7 new to the company, but most of the legacy sapient folks I’ve met seem to be hacks.
Sadly all off cycle adjustments are shut down. So next window in October for any increases. That closure is due to company performance. Best move you can do is try to show how you impacted our growth in next quarter to build case for fall or spring. Individual performance story will not be as clean of a sell
Why do people keep saying SR is dead?
@LB1 Oh snap. Time to catch up on my news. The least they could do is help transition staff.
OP - get copies of every project you worked on before you started on it. Then get copies of what it looked like after you worked on it. Bring that to your mgr in October
this is helpful, thanks guys
OP- I have been you in a past life. My sincerest advice: run.
Make a case for yourself for the next promotion round.
