So apparently rumor in the offices is that WPP Media just won a big account.

HR won’t tell us account name but are already hiring. Any guess what account it might be?

Didn’t they just lay off 700 people

funnylike

I think you’re thinking about number revealed by WPP for total cut this year overall for the holdco which was 7000

smart

WPP Media did not win a big account in 2025; rather, it lost several major accounts. One of the most notable losses was the $1.7 billion global media account for Mars. This account was awarded to Publicis Groupe after a nearly six-month review process.

Need advice. Currently at $142k base. 3 years and 1 month left before I max out of H1b. Just got my PWD issued through current employer though their immediate reaction is subtly letting me know they’re not in a hurry to start recruitment. Got an offer today for $160k base. Similar role, both are good teams, etc. Do I politely decline and see my GC process through or accept and get more money? Feel like current employer will drag their feet as long as they can for retention purposes.

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.
