Publicis- I’m confused. Do you get paid for Gigs on Marcel? Or is it just to get experience?

I’d rather work my gig on weekends and earn some extra cash to pay the bills I can’t pay due to a shit salary at a Publicis agency.

From my understanding (and correct me if I’m wrong) it is basically inter-groupe work. Basically from Publicis perspective, it acts as a buffer so if you aren’t working on anything currently, you can work on a gig to fill your time. From my perspective I already work 70+ hours a week, so yah, no thank you. If I have downtime, I don’t want to spend it working on something else.

Yeah the point is to delete CRMs and reduce the volume of support staff it takes to do the job while also turning agency model into a gig economy so that someday more departments work through a freelancer structure that doesn’t provide any real benefits.

That’s what I thought but then I saw this today and was curious

Having worked on a Marcel gig is not going to stop them from laying you off if they needed to. They’re not going to think “oh but this person practiced the best way to help each other and helped our business as a member of our community and team”.

If you’re talented and great at your job yet they aren’t making you 100% billable that you’ll have to find your own gig through Marcel, they’re doing it wrong and bad at doing their jobs anyway. Your Marcel gig participant is not going to save that office. But if you aren’t talented and thinking Marcel gig machine is going to save your job, think twice about it.

I’m a senior planner leading one brand and there’s a new strategist on the team working on a sister brand.

Also because I mentioned it went well with client when they ask. All for sharing thinking w/ the team & I know we feel imposter syndrome to varying degrees, but I also feel like it’s good for planners to find their own voice/style/flow. Thoughts?

We went from once a week to maybe once a quarter.

I’ve talked to him about it and he says I should take care of myself. So frustrated. 😭😭

Facebook is hot garbage but I’m pretty sure 0 out of the 11000 were making those decisions. So why are you upset about it? Urgh. Y’all are weird.
