Some great hires lately, but that place is a smoldering wreck of an agency, and it remains to be seen if they can turn it around.

All of WPP’s other turnaround projects keep getting hamstrung by their accountant mindset, so I’ll be skeptical until I see them doing good work again.

My guess is WPP won’t fully commit to giving that place the resources it actually needs to succeed (as usual).

It will be interesting to see if CBH, Liz Taylor and Menno can do anything. Right now it’s still looking like they are spending all the money on top heavy leadership (as they have done for years to little effect) yet crickets in terms of key creatives (CD and under) who actually make the work.

Which office?

An agency full of people talented at talking and selling advertising “products”, but the work itself seems to always miss the mark.

Can anyone help me find a site on Oracle EPM cloud? I guess there used to be a page where you could plug in metadata around business industry, revenue, number of users in finance... And then it would give the business case/value of implementation in dollars. It was an interface that had plug and play functionality. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

I’m in Sales, but brand new to tech sales. I had a resume person help me - gorgeous cover letter too that showcases my skills.

I keep getting rejected for lack of SaaS experience. What can I say or do to get my foot in the door? I am confident that I can crush it but not even getting past the gatekeeper at this point. It’s a blanket “ we need someone with experience” and I’m trying to not get discouraged.
