Tension creates toxicity – The Juniorfication of Agency Management is exemplified when CEOs can not see opportunities in what they perceive as threats. More to come in departures from WG I’m sure.

There’s a lot of shit going on with WPP agencies lately. As a former insider I can see why. Toxicity runs through its veins. No wonder they can’t hold good people, have a lawsuit, haven’t produced anything decent in some time and are absent from the new biz announcements. Meanwhile, Mark Read announces profits are up. Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

Warwick is a superstar planner and will find somewhere better than a boring result of a WPP merger.
