Thoughts on GREY NY these days?
Hi Fishes
I want to share very bad experience I had at Mastercard
I was given offer by Mastercard in month of Dec The hike was less but looking at brand & other perks I accepted the offer & was looking forward to joining them.I got few offers & I went back to them for sole purpose of renegotiating CTC, to have a industry standard hike. They didn't reverted back for 2-3 days & just dropped a mail that they are revoking initial offer as well on grounds that they didn't like i gave other interview

Working within a Publicis IAT, and while I'm new, it seems pretty collaborative and non-competitive? The streams of work are pretty clearly defined, so no poaching of SOWs as of yet.
Have worked on Publicist IAT and Omnicom. In my experience, hands down publicist was better. Omnicom was quite nasty. Agencies fighting. The lead agency consistently trying to intentionally overrule on the digital partner’s ideas. And it led to a reduction in SOW. On the Publicis team I was on, none of this behavior happened. It was much more collaborative and respectful.
I’ve actually been on both too and I’ll agree omnicom didn’t feel as collaborative, but once we had 1:1s with their leads it got easier. Did your GCD or ECD step in and have conversations?
Omnicom IAT - not as exposed as other team members but generally we get pushed aside and not consulted in planning etc until the last minute / as needed versus it being a truly collaborative process.
This is true. It is not collaborative outside of a few individuals who want to be good partners. Most of the old school Omnicom agencies treat their partner agencies like vendors rather than partners. The clients are not stupid and usually can tell that the ideas are not actually integrated. Plus the partner agencies do not feel motivated to bring their best work when they are seen as lesser contributors.
