Regarding WPP losing Coke to Publicis:“Agency holding companies are not ‘meme stocks’ that turn on headlines and sentiment. They are sophisticated portfolios of software, services, currency exchange rates, real estate and new business development.” Okay, perhaps not meme stocks (remains to be seen in the DOGE era), but certainly a race to the bottom procurement exercise if I’ve ever seen one.

If I applied to a company and sent a message to the recruiter on LinkedIn, but they haven’t accepted my connection request or responded to my message, should I follow up with an email a week later? Trying to find the line between enthusiastic and being a weirdo.
