Don't expect Chiat LA to give the layoffs the same 'Disruptive' LinkedIn treatment they gave their bronze lion wins. Leadership is always eager to humanize the agency when holding a trophy, but dead silent when handing out pink slips.

I’m considering a move to Omnicom from Publicis- would love to hear from current/former Omnicom people how the vibes are over there.

While Cannes has always been self indulgent it’s never felt more irrelevant.99% of the work that wins does absolutely nothing to build brands or leave a lasting impression on consumers. It feels like a contest celebrating how well agencies were able to trick their agencies into buying something that will only be seen on LinkedIn and the agency reel.

My contract was unsurprisingly not extended this week after I couldn't keep from calling the CD out when he was blaming a junior for a mistake that was fully his own. "You should have known I mistakenly approved that because it's not up to my standards!" after the client didn't like his concept, spit flying as he was screaming at her. I at least wish it meant I was a good person but I just hate the guy. The job market is good, right? Right??

What’s some good Cannes gossip this year ?
