Pfizer to Publicis- what does it mean?

So I’m guessing a reduction in staff for IPG Health, followed by a migration of said unemployed folks to Publicis, but for reduced salary and working from office doing the same Pfizer work. Its bad for the people in the industry, IMO, and really returns leverage to the holding cos..

I’m staying here unless they cut me though. We will win business. I can keep my salary and still work remotely and not have to move back to the city. QoL for the win.

Yes, there is absolutely no good reason to rush into anything until someone says the words, "We are laying you off." Everything I'm hearing is that we won't stop billing Pfizer until July at the earliest--a lot can happen in 3 months, and even if layoffs happen IPGH offers severance. Bide your time.

100% agree!

Pfizer win saved IPGH of executing masive layoffs in 2023 and merging offices. The network was struggling back then. Sadly, this year all of that will happen.

I'm SVP/strategy for a PR agency. I moved into PR, Healthcare, and Strategic Planning only 3 years ago.

Or that I'm qualified). But long-term, knowing account roles are so much more plentiful than brand planning in PR, I'm wondering if I should start thinking about account. Anyone here moved from strategy to account?

I’m not sure if IG is down or if something changed with IG and pharma accounts.
