Friend who was SLT there said there’s been a lot of bad luck compounded by some bad decisions. Jonathan Isaacs left, lot of existing clients cut budgets. Their CEO was still bringing a lot of old creative thinking. GCLs inside Omnicom had a lot of power when I was there 8-10 years ago to determine who’s on what business, So have to figure they stopped throwing a lot of new biz leads their way and that compounded and already declining situation.

This. And also they lost their license to use the TBWA name.
