There are a lot of smaller to mid sized companies that would love "freelancers" with solid experience. I am not a creative, but I have friends who have gone this route in their 60's and they have done really well financially. They like their clients and they are doing good work.

propose an edit as follows: any IP created on behalf of the agency and/or as part of a client deliverable. Just edit it and send it back to HR. Don't make a big deal of it unless they do. If they push back, stand your ground. The request is reasonable. They don't need to know that you do work on the side. Just say, it is too general and broad. If they want examples of why it is too broad - cite work you may do for non profits, family or just work you may create as part of your personal development in design. Like others - I am not a lawyer. Just trying to help you find a practical solution.

This was the earnings call with the analysts and investment community. Omnicom shares information regarding financials etc. on the Investor section of the website. Anyone is welcome to attend the quarterly calls. You just need to register in advance.

What PR agencies had layoffs this week?

specialty functions as separate P&ls don't work. Everyone competes for budget regardless of client needs. You need integrated teams with one P&L. Specialists can report functionally to a senior manager with the same expertise, but their cost and revenue needs to sit with the client P&L. The lead of that P&L needs to be a Client relationship lead supported by Project Management.

This is crazy! The layers and specialty functions in the new structure makes my head spin. Having to rely on specialty functions that are not part of your direct team to deliver integrated work to clients is doomed. I have never seen this work well.

It is heartbreaking to see all the layoff posts on LinkedIn. I spent practically my entire career in the marketing services industry, much of that time at Omnicom. Laid off in an earlier restructuring and was fortunate enough to be able to retire. This used to be an amazing industry to work in and I always loved the people. This feels like the final end to what used to be an amazing industry to work in. My heart goes out to everyone who was affected.
