Pros
- Talented creatives (before they all left or were pushed out).
- A few supportive colleagues doing their best in a chaotic environment.
- Cool projects - when leadership doesn't get in the way.
Cons
- Post-acquisition leadership is untrustworthy, out of touch, and reactive.
- No transparency or direction - just shifting priorities and broken promises.
- Culture deteriorated fast: what was once collaborative became silent, defensive, and political.
- Leadership lacks experience in high-end media or client relationships but insists on controlling it.
- Talented people are overlooked, ignored, or pushed out.
- “Luxury” is used as a buzzword, but there’s no understanding of what it actually requires.
- Zero investment in growth, team morale, or retention - just micromanagement and ego.
- Success is punished with more work, not more support or recognition.
