Please name decent agencies that use Microsoft Suite. I’m not joking when I say the use of Teams/PPT has been the biggest 🚩 of my career!…. they are the most non-tapped-in organizations.

Former agency guy here, now client side. I finally get why clients like SharePoint. It actually makes my life so much easier in terms of version tracking, etc. Its not perfect but there's a reason why people use it.

Any Publicis owned agency uses it. Omnicom as well.

Same with Havas and IPG

WPP here. we use Teams for meetings and emails / calendar but all our decks and docs are on google drive (god bless google slides)

likefunny

PPT isn’t bad for building decks together. Teams is pretty good at what it does. I don’t understand why people think any other platforms are that different.

like

PPT is terrible for building decks together. The lag is real if there are more than 10 people on it not to mention the ugly design of the app

like

Every large agency uses Microsoft.

my worst agency experience was using google suite with the slack combo. they were so cheap that we had to ask vendors to pull MRI research for us to use for decks.

like

It’s honestly more client dependent than it is agency. Within both IPG And WPP, I’ve had to transition from Google to Microsoft to Apple software on a daily/weekly basis. And god forbid you work with Amazon, who has their own suite of programs.

like

Zoom > Teams meetings
Slack > Teams chat
Gmail > Outlook
Slides or Keynote > PPT

… but the Microsoft suite pricing is better. So that’s what everyone uses.

We hire the design team at MerakiTheory.com to handle the PPT. 👍

Considering we used Skype at GroupM teams has been a lot better though still buggy, as all Microsoft products are lol

Ok and?

just wait till someone makes you use Adobe Express…

I don’t mind Teams… but PowerPoint is an enormous red flag. We used teams at the two Omnicom companies I worked for. It was fine.

I have been approached by 3 separate HR people at a startup company to interview for a position. I already have a fulltime job that pays well and I only started 6 months ago too. Anyways, the pay was intriguing and the job was a high level scientific advisor so I did interviews. At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?
