They have botched a few projects in the past and have relied on smaller shops to save their asses. McCann SF has earned the nickname “McCan’t”.

They're a huge, very slow, un-organized, un-creative, global mess. I personally know they had a windows branding assignment that they screwed up on. I was there for a short time and figured out very shortly that there were three types of people there: 1. Main Street Employees - The bitter group that was there before they got big. They are either over-paid or lack the talent to get a job elsewhere. 2. Ex-Ogilvy Sellouts - I'm sure Matt Ross probably thought Arod's asking price was a good deal. He brings in all of his ex-ibm/yahoo cronies for fat paychecks and 3. Misguided talent - The people that don't see the writing on the walls. They get there, hoping for the best but get lost in all of the crap. The only possible escape is move over to TAG. If not, kiss 600 battery goodbye.
