Cons
Like a dog, after 14+ years, Vibrant is on its last breaths.... The cons start at the top. Senior leadership lacks integrity and any real gumption in strategy, decision making, and purpose. The current CEO shows a complete lack of interest in running the company. The company is HQ'ed in New York, yet he's hiding in some villa in France, not really showing his face to the company. After numerous rounds of layoffs in 2014, the C-Suite still had the audacity to hold yet ANOTHER FRUITLESS yacht party in Cannes. For years now, they've held these yacht parties to portray this image of a thriving and fun advertising company, even in the face of hiring freezes in past years, and layoffs this year. Two years ago, the C-Suite even held a town hall to talk about how "they were the life of the party, sipping on Rose" and building traction for future big sales to justify the yacht party during a hiring freeze.......financial windfall from previous yacht parties: layoffs to 30% of workforce in 2014. It's amazing they held it again this year. As for the rest of the senior team, it is composed of long tenured members who have made it there by attrition and by being enablers. What do I mean by enablers? When the old C-Suite was managing the company, making bad decision after bad decision getting Vibrant Media in its current dire state, their trusted executive foot soldiers (the current C-suite) just marched along executing these bad decisions, knowing full well these were bad strategies. They played the political game right for personal gain. Now the company is unable to attract outside talent and now you have leadership filled with long tenured members with stale ideas and no experience outside of Vibrant. It sucks to see Vibrant in its position now, because it was a great place. To compound matters, its long time competitor Kontera only sold for $150 million. This does not bold well for Vibrant's investors' exit strategy. It has already reached its final destination of irrelevancy. Now it's time to say a sincere sad goodbye to this once best in show.
