Pros

Most of the staff are very nice people.

Cons

Every single project is a cookie cutter clone of the one before it. Absolutely no imagination goes into anything. Absurd amounts of time are sunk into strategies that have been proven to fail over and over again. Whenever anything goes wrong, the slightest thing, expect a series of malicious meetings where management and CEO narrow down the list of culprits to blame and point fingers at. Extraordinarily poor communication at all levels. Agency is very obviously a vanity project of its CEO, Kathleen Lauchlan. She's the company's worst enemy and has no business running a business.

Greetings! “Feckless, delusional CEO” chiming in here. I apologize if your tenure at Lauchlan, or the circumstances of your departure have left you with the negative feelings you clearly have. I welcome the opportunity to speak with you directly to see what, if anything, can be done to address your concerns so please don’t hesitate to contact me at klauchlan@lauchlanx.com to set up a call. Delusion and running a sustainable, successful business do not go hand in hand. As we enter in to our 10th, (incredible!) year in our beloved, ever-evolving technology sector, Lauchlan’s creative portfolio continues to expand in depth and diversity to adeptly serve our international marketplace. This success is attributable solely to the innovation, collaboration and dedication of our highly valued team, — a member of which I’m sorry we’re not able to count you amongst. I do truly wish you the very best in your ongoing career pursuits and again, apologize if things didn’t work out better for you with our agency. Sincerely, Kathleen Lauchlan CEO

Pros

Everyone was collaborative, smart, and seemed to genuinely care about the work

Cons

Not something that can always be avoided, but difficult clients were sometimes accommodated more than they were managed
