This agency is a laughing stock of the industry

Pros

None. Do not work here.

Cons

The leadership team are the worst performing, unsupportive and uncreative I’ve experienced in my 20 years of working in the events industry. They over promise to clients, put horrendous pressure on their team, don’t pay vendors and sometimes purposefully neglect or delay expenses reimbursements to their staff. Obviously they have financial issues, perhaps because they have (rightfully) been sued by a senior member of staff for discrimination. The staff churn out proposals without enough time to properly digest a brief and totally miss the mark. Budgets are tweaked to deliver what’s promised so the business doesn’t make any money. Staff are over worked, under appreciated and definitely under paid. Absolutely baffled how a business can get this far behaving this way. The staff turnover is very high and word is spreading (worldwide) not to work with this awful agency. It’s a laughing stock of the industry.

Pros

Junior level staff is lovely, really great hard workers but management will never help them move up.

Cons

The reason there are many people who have only ever worked at BMF for 7+ years (and have no idea how to do their jobs) is because they are so awful, toxic, and racist, that they could only ever work with each other because any other healthy agency would kick them out immediately. I had to leave before they compromised my morals or ethics too much. There are a few good souls in leadership but unfortunately they're told to shut up or leave. It is a toxic place full of horrible people. I had heard the rumors about them for years and took a chance and believed that leadership truly wanted to work towards being a better and more inclusive company. That was not my experience whatsoever. I worked very close to leadership and the things I heard would make for a lawsuit - "pick someone random to fire to help cash flow" telling agencies during pitch meetings "well we have a mexican and a black" to try to explain the "diversity", lots of sexual harassment. Just disgusting men and their sidekick managing director who has no brain of her own. Total Karen who is sick in the head and get's pleasure from hurting staff, never seen her do any work on her own. No other agency would accept her so instead she sticks around as the leaderships mouthpiece/propaganda machine. Don't trust anyone in leadership or higher up, I was higher up and the lack of empathy bordered on sociopathic. Most of the good people in leadership have been driven out because of the complete insanity and horrible CEO. Leadership is absolutely out of control. Many of the coworkers who have been there for years lie to protect the men running the agency and in turn get to stick around while being horrible at their jobs and having no real marketable skills.
