Pros
This was EP: A successful regional agency with a strong culture built on hard work, loyalty and the desire to grow.
Cons
This is EP: Losing the distinction between “growth” and “getting as big as possible, as fast as possible.” This is EP: Deciding to see if bigness is a thing that can be bought through flashy hires it couldn’t afford, and creating the capital for those hires by firing many dozens of loyal employees. This is EP: Discovering, in the most difficult ways possible, that shiny objects and inflated egos are no substitute for substance and character. This is EP: Adrift and afraid, devoid of culture or purpose, building a monument to its past in the back parking lot while its future becomes ever more uncertain.
