Account losses mean nothing. Especially when they come in groups – Lunestra, IHOP and now Intel (your head is in the sand if you think a review isn't in the works...just ask other agency new business types who are getting word of it). Add the fact IPG stock is tumbling to ever-new lows, and the writing's on the wall: every one of you are a target for overhead-reducing, belt-tightening, sell-off-in-the-making activity. ps...I'm sure McCann management will enjoy it when the IHOP clients are forwarded your message that, "We could give a crap about losing that account".

Given that the retention rate of incumbent pitch efforts is around 15%. McCann is reeling from the loss. Our $1.2 billion dollar base is destroyed now. Wow – so incredibly insightful.
