Chief
Leo Burnett Chicago were killing more employee jobs a few days ago.
Not Leo, but on accounts that work across Publicis and unfortunately, we have been pitching like mad, we just have been loosing the big pitches... We did win some solid pitches, but not enough to cover the massive losses of GM and Altria who were both major clients for decades. It is like a mall going out of business because they lost Nordstroms and JC Penny, sure they can maybe get a new candy store in, but when your anchor stores go out, you are in trouble.

The ones that still allow smoking inside
It’s all about the indies. Rethink, Mischief, GUT, etc.
I like some of Tombras’ work. Wouldn’t say it’s the quality of the other indies mentioned though.
They do seem to be doing well overall.
If by “it”, you mean the industry, pretty much all of them.
Some agencies within holding companies get more independence than others. Colle McVoy is winning new accounts and continues growing—is still open to remote talent when a lot of agencies have shut that door. Diverse portfolio: Frank’s RedHot, Jackson Hole Tourism, Perdue, Wellness Pet, La-Z-Boy, etc. No layoffs.
Good to know. I’ll reach out to them again.
