Lay-Offs At Publicis West
March 4, 2008
When it rains, it pours. These things come in threes. Insert your own adage here. Turns out that Publicis West has laid off somewhere between 8-10 people from across a wide swath of department. We hope that whoever these folks are get back to work soon.
This move is not due to a client loss. The lay-offs seem to be based on the shop shifting itself towards more digital and brand experience initiatives. Hunh. Interesting.

Shouldn’t a company shifting towards digital at least have a website?

That’s almost as bad as We Are Gigantic using iWeb

Everyone is going digital for digital’s sake. Same sort of insanity going on at my agency, we’re going digital, nevermind the fact that our website sucks or that this is our second attempt at it or that our healthcare clients aren’t going to get there nearly as fast or in depth as everyone else, it’s full steam ahead… and yup, layoff’s are a comin
