13 Partners leaving PwC to form a new company under Luke Sayers - called 'Sayers' ? Wow, does this mean there's more money to spread around at PwC ?

And to think, they called it Sayers ? Whilst some of these partners are going around calling themselves 'Founding Partners', they not only followed the leader, they couldn't even come up with an inventive name !

Perhaps they should all be called 'Following Partners'.

Seems on a p/s valuation peer comparison, BB could easily trade at $30. The Reddit hype has helped it gain attention, but looks like it has been quietly building momentum in spite of that. LEAPs?

Social Security tax/HSA question - one of the unique benefits to HSA is that on top of being income tax free it is also payroll tax free. For specifically the 6.2% social security portion of FICA that only applies to the first $147k does that just mean you pay it on dollars earned from 147 to 154 instead for no net benefit?

Any suggestions on how to continue helping a new employee in our dept when they do not take notes? I am always willing to help, but it is becoming frustrating to constantly go over the same thing. I have expressed that because our dept does so many things that it is good to take notes over the things we are going over. When our MGR was out of town I spent a large amount of time being patient and helping her all throughout the day. It is now taking time from the task that I need to work on.

How do we feel about the culture at FCB/ Area 23 NYC? I know they are doing a lot of hiring right now and I’m curious if anyone has insight. Thanks!

Honestly I don’t think agencies are going to exist the way they do 15-20 years from now. The way they operate is designed for burn out for employees. I’ve worked at a total of 5 agencies across Chicago and NYC, and things end up always being toxic and the work life balance is just not sustainable nor justifiable when I look back. I mean look across this app and see what people post in regards to advertising, we deserve better.

I’m currently doing my first drug launch and wanted to ask if it’s normal to be working 15+hrs a day during a launch?

I’ve been having a super hard time concepting lately, especially knowing that the “concept” will mostly serve as a sticker to slap on the cover of a CVA and the top of a website. I feel like every pharma concept I’ve ever seen or created becomes so cheesy once it appears in tactics. Does anyone have any examples of HCP creative (non-DSA) that is both impactful and translates well into pharma tactics?

Anyone hearing where Kaiser Permanente account is heading after 17 years at C-E?

My hatred of speaker decks know no bounds.

Have you ever been treated so poorly by someone you worked with that once you left that agency you immediately blocked them on your phone and LinkedIn so you can pretend they never existed.

That feeling when the Medical Review team agrees that, yes, on reflection the bold new messaging and unique positioning isn't actually an overclaim.
