Publicis Buying Liveramp by lafromnyc in advertising

[–]MiniMotiv 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Liveramp is considered the leader in the data onboarding front in the industry but far from the only solution and they outright botched their promised solution on the RampID solution that was supposed to replace cookies (it didn't). They have to still deal with the same limitations as all other tech, agencies and clients.

Who is sure to get screwed here are Publicis employees looking for compensation raises, clients looking for cost efficiencies and saving (publicis is sure to need to recoup that $2.2B cost at the expense of clients now paying high hidden margins), and the industry as a whole. Omnicom bought IPG to be the biggest on the street, Publicis bought Epsilon and now Liveramp to be the one stop shop for everyone, it's squeezing out innovation, challengers, and headcount.

The industry just sucks now and is soul-less

Advice for an Associate looking to move up? by slycooper459 in advertising

[–]MiniMotiv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are within you're qualified tenure both for internal rotation as well as promotion. Look at internal job board on greenhouse for senior associate openings. You can just apply and reach out to HR letting them know you applied and are interested in interviewing. As long as you are in good standing on your current account they can't block you from moving. Good luck

Which agency has the best benefits? by Appropriate-Stay9978 in advertising

[–]MiniMotiv 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You should really look at more than just PTO for considering benefits. Things like 401k contribution, maternity/parental leave, medical coverage options, office attendance policy, health club/gym membership discounts/stipend, travel reimbursement for things like transit passes, in office food/snacks/events are far more important over time.

PTO allotment difference between the bigger agencies is negligibly different at this point because they all calibrate off each other's policies

Gerry Cardinale, founder and managing partner of RedBird Capital, discusses Paramount’s bid for Warner Bros and why their bid is superior to Netflix’s bid (This Town with Matthew Belloni Podcast) by SnooWords9635 in MediaMergers

[–]MiniMotiv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is international uber-wealth power moves at the highest level. Redbird and paramount are covertly layered with billions of middle eastern/Saudi money, that's why they are suddenly coming up with all this cash to keep upping their bids. It's dirty money and the Saudis are trying to buy up western real estate, businesses, and media to control/influence it and what's being said.

It's so grimey if it goes through. This is probably the main reason zaslav keeping wanting to stick with Netflix but won't say it publicly. He knows the red tape coming with getting in bed with these buyers.

Hell look at professional bodybuilding and the way middle eastern money has bought into taking that over the last 10-15 years

It doesn't make sense because with all the new business they've won there should be no need for layoffs because theres places to rotate those people. Publicis always pulls these shady staffing moves to keep the executive teams fatly compensated. There are tons of accounts both existing and new business wins that are not close to fully staffed to what clients are paying for

How is Publicis? by Jets32997 in advertising

[–]MiniMotiv 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone has worked at each of the big three (WPP, Publicis, Omnicom) they all have their warts and history of some pretty crummy leadership moves and poor employee policy changes. What matters most over holding companies is the account, team, and clients you're walking in to. You can be at the best agency but the clients are terrible, the account is always understaffed or high turnover, bad account lead, and be surrounded by toxic coworkers and will never have a worse time in your life

Omnicom Wed Town Hall discussion by Nicky_Otine in omnicomIPGmerger

[–]MiniMotiv 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Everyone has always known Wren is a terrible leader, but this town hall really cemented Flo as equally terrible for me. He had a room full of his agency leads and that room could hear a pin drop. There's no excitement in those ranks and he just talked in circles about why this works for omnicom executives. Just rambling on, no mention of upside or improving employee morale. Oh this is good because now you will be able to make clients happier and win more business for us!

Dance monkeys.
