Yep. I think it ended up costing BBDO a lot more to let him go.

I thought it's been acknowledged in the press as pandemic collateral. Insane. We gripe about the bean counters ruining advertising, we learn in advertising theory that downturns are the times to invest, this probably goes down as a case study for dumb and myopia. And such a quick comeback story 🎉🌈😂🖕🏻

Yep. It’s such a case study in what happens when an agency thinks people are interchangeable.

For all you retail people...are you experiencing a very slow holiday season? I am a retail manager and I feel like this season has been freakishly slow. I thought we would at least match last year's number or be up a little bit but we are trending down. I talked to employees of other stores in the mall and they are saying the same thing. Is anyone else experiencing this in their market?

Hi all. I can't help but feel that my current 'Digital Managing Partner' job title is a little too niche when it comes to LinkedIn job/resume keyword relevance, particularly outside of a media agency environment. However, a 'Digital Director' title feels too junior and 'Managing Director' maybe a little more senior. Any logical suggestions please? Thanks

Has anyone ever worked at an agency in which the project management department was properly utilized? I traditionally was brought up in my career where PM type tasks were handled by lower level AMs. I have observed separating AM and PM tasks into two separate departments just causes communication issues and lazy account people. Account people should have a good understanding of how much effort and time goes into a project. Project Managers are missing a lot of context so blind leading blind.
