You ever work with someone that’s just a straight up hater? You bring forth a great discovery and everyone is giving kudos except that one person. You get a new hairstyle and on the call, everyone compliments the new look except for that one person. In the office, you say hi to everyone but there’s that one person that avoids eye contact instead of just saying hello. Don’t be like this.
While Cannes has always been self indulgent it’s never felt more irrelevant.99% of the work that wins does absolutely nothing to build brands or leave a lasting impression on consumers. It feels like a contest celebrating how well agencies were able to trick their agencies into buying something that will only be seen on LinkedIn and the agency reel.
He founded a famous agency, made bank when he sold it, first to WME then to Accenture, served as CEO of the world's biggest holding company (more $ revenue than Publicis) and walks away rich and happy in his mid 50s. That's a pretty good end.
Feels like a beginning we’d all love to have.
Glad to see this and good for him. He sold Droga5 for nearly half a billion, so any work past that was purely sport or contractual.
A1 Yup!!!
Good for him.
The lead is being buried.. he’s still a vice chair of Accenture song.. if anything he’s gonna be more involved in the agency now I bet.
I no longer see his profile on LinkedIn. So unless I’m mistaken, I reckon he’s checked out (good timing perhaps?) Probably in Sydney overseeing the construction of his new house. They demolished the old cottage down a couple of weeks ago in preparation for the new build. He essentially paid $30 million for a small block of land.
Sure, the end, just like it was for Greg Hahn 😂
They can finally change the song to something else.
