So I may be I total fantasyland here, but given all that happened in the OMC/IPG takeover, is there even a hope in hell of bonuses on the horizon? Historically it’s in the March 15 paycheck. Feel free to slap me.

What are bonuses? We never got them at IPG that know of.

If there’s nowhere for talent to go, there is no reason to incentivize them to stay.

Are you OMC legacy?

This year at the compensation "discussion," I received a "merit" raise that was on par with a typical COL increase. No bonus. The previous year, the bonus was announced at the same meeting, so I do not think there are bonuses, at least at my agency. There is no reason I would not have received my full bonus allocation, given performance.

I think they used that money for the stock buyback.

Historically at my OHG agency typically COL/merit increases raises are in January and then bonuses March/April which at least me and my immediate supervisor got one last year. Maybe I will get lucky this year

With $941 million Q4 losses and $1billion announced in planned contingencies…not likely.

Lord no, I love your optimism though. ❤️

The bonus in this hunger games era of late is not being invited to a last minute “business alignment” meeting.

I'm SVP/strategy for a PR agency. I moved into PR, Healthcare, and Strategic Planning only 3 years ago.

Or that I'm qualified). But long-term, knowing account roles are so much more plentiful than brand planning in PR, I'm wondering if I should start thinking about account. Anyone here moved from strategy to account?

Does anyone have any examples of HCP creative (non-DSA) that is both impactful and translates well into pharma tactics?
