Thoughts on BBDO Chicago?
1
Is anyone else seeing a huge increase in ghosting lately? I’ve done multiple rounds with two agencies and one client-side team and got completely ghosted by all three. Followed up twice with one agency and still heard nothing. Starting to feel way more common lately curious if others are experiencing the same thing.
Most everyone from FCB wants to quit. There just aren’t enough jobs out there right now for us all to leave. Omnicom wants it this way. They promised significant costs savings and probably the easiest way to achieve that is to just let the people who can leave and find other jobs leave.
Chicago is a city. BBDO is an agency, by name
Horrible attempt at a joke mate
I’ve worked at a couple hold-cos, and as someone who is legacy FCB now BBDO Chicago, it’s not the worst situation. Aside from being under Omnicom and the horrible treatment of employees and “benefits”. Creative is actually fun and a lot of the people have been here a long time for a reason. Ofc people want to leave in the acquisition for plenty of reasons but grass is not always greener and jobs are limited. My one call out is some of the teams and people are extremely fake and toxic. If you can compartmentalize work from personal, you’re fine. Just know you might become someone else’s stepping stool.
