How did they announce it? One of Arthur's silly word soup videos of course.

Interesting, one would think that LePub could be the result of Leo+Publicis. Just sayin’

The publicis take over of Leo was obvious and has been going on for a while. The Leo Burnett brand wasn’t seen as having a positioning that could win new business or make money, so they’re changing the model by killing the Leo Burnett brand, and creating what will be pitched as a “global agency.”

Leo Burnett created a few new memorable characters in recent years. Mayhem being one of them. Honestly, audiences love them. Never should have stopped.

There’s a lot of gobbledygook about “creative constellations.” We need to stop doing that. Just say “avoids conflicts.” Yogaspeak confuses clients.

The AdWeek article mentioned maintaining the PWW label in certain markets to avoid conflicts in some markets so I don't think it's as big a deal as you've stated.Do regulatory agencies GAF if agencies have conflict clients? it's not a legal issue, it's a client issue.

I’m sure both agencies will exist in some form, publicis isn’t about to limit its ability to handle conflicts

Wasn’t Leo always under Publicis?

Yes but it's really going to be different this time!

They sent a video out at the same time as the press release... real inside baseball going on over here.

Also I love how they included Leo Burnett's retirement speech "when you take my name off the door" like that's literally what they're doing lmfao

Wait, this isn’t a joke?

I mean, the Leo Burnett building doesn’t even say Publicis on the front door… it says Epsilon.

Yeah what’s happening to Epsilon? Is that going to be a “constellation”?

I posted this somewhere else before I remembered that I am in this bowl :) so, I changed jobs 6-7 months ago and I am realizing it is not a good fit. Leadership seem to not want to hear the truth so people tell them what they want to hear and if you don’t middle management gets pissed at you. I am seriously thinking about looking somewhere else. My question is how do you answer the “why are you looking to leave” question without bad mouthing your current company?

Things have been super stressful at work lately for a variety of reasons & a couple of weeks ago I decided to raise the issues with my Creative Director.
For context, he’s the reason for a lot of these problems and I (tactfully, I think) said as much. He listened to me patiently but took no responsibility and deflected blame with every issue raised.
Today he asked me to send an email to him about how overworked I am so that he can use it to talk to management. (cont. in comments)
