The B&E dudes broadcasting from BBDO to ‘celebrate’ this merger is just unbelievably tone deaf.

Absolutely agree. Celebrating a merger, which is resulting in thousands losing their jobs, is gross. What’s wrong with these dudes?

They weren’t celebrating, they were informing people about it in gen z fashion. I can see how older folks would see it as tone deaf, but as a gen z’er I didn’t see it that way. Found their live stream very informative. But, id say reach out to them and let them know how you feel. They’ll listen. I’ve met them, they are great dudes.

Well, then they knew exactly what they were doing. Gross.

Last year. Area 23 did massive layoffs then posted pictures of themselves partying from a yacht in Cannes! Publicis did unnecessary layoffs then held a town hall claiming everyone was still getting bonuses and promotions hours later. These companies are always tone deaf. None of the holding companies care about their employees.

Link? I only saw one where they reported on it and broke it down.

I don't mind at all. It's sad some people lost their jobs but that doesn't mean they can't report on it in their usual style

Didn’t know they did sponsored posts

It is ALL they do. They are pay to play.
