Did you get a chance to see the mealy mouthed statement from “His Holiness Laurence,” about losing the biggest account in the fucking Interpublic universe…
“In looking at the highly professional way we have managed SC Johnson’s business over the years as well as the strong results we have helped the company achieve for many years, it’s difficult to understand this decision, but we obviously have no choice but to accept it. We wish our SCJ colleagues all over the world continued success as they build upon the very strong foundation that our two companies have collectively established. It’s important to keep this situation in perspective. Our organization has grown significantly since our 2006 merger, and we’ve consistently been among the top performing networks for IPG. That growth has allowed us to substantially diversify our revenue base, making SCJ an increasingly smaller part of our global business over the past few years.”
Laurence… Laurence…Go work off your anger in the corner gym… First lesson in running a BDA… Never, ever burn your bridges. Second lesson… Learn something about the ad biz. Third lesson… In your case: Get the fuck out of the ad biz!
Oh… One final note… What the fuck has happened to Jonathan “Idgy” Harries? This guy has disappeared off the face of the earth. Ya think they had him taken care of in one final “rumble?”
OK Larry, yours goes to the Caymans, mine goes to Zurich, and "Idgy" don't need any where he's going!
