I’m raising an eyebrow at how vague these press releases have been (from Ogilvy and McCann Health). I’d have more respect for an agency who weren’t afraid to discuss the specifics (they’ve fired these guys after all!) and take a stand against that sort of behaviour. Yes, we’re an industry ruled by arrogant, entitled middle-aged men who have been in their jobs forever. Yes, it’s good these people are finally being moved on. Let’s call a spade a spade, for god’s sake.

I realise that publishing the specifics may move the situation from breaching company conduct to a legal case so do understand that. It is wonderful agencies like McCann and Ogilvy are taking a stand now and doing the right thing by their good people. Bravo.

Press releases are vague when information is wrong or has been manipulated from the truth.
