Grey’s Production Unit Townhouse Goes Through a Small Round of Layoffs

Townhouse, the production unit of Grey that officially launched in late 2016, went through a round of layoffs this week; around ten employees were affected.

A Grey representative confirmed that the company had parted with a small number of employees, but declined to elaborate further. Our sources claim that the move is in keeping with budget cuts by unspecified clients.

Townhouse first appeared on our radar in early 2016 when the Screen Actors Guild’s issued a complaint alleging that Grey cast non-union actors in its ads and used “Townhouse 23,” as it was then known, to get around the conditions in SAG-AFTRA Commercials Contracts.

The entity continued handling work, with WPP later naming Kristen Martini as Townhouse’s first CEO in November of 2016, with president Bennett McCarroll reporting to her. (In keeping with our spies, he resigned less than a year later to accept a job as co-director of video production at, you guessed it, Apple.)

At the time of Martini’s appointment, WPP explained that Townhouse would offer additional client services in addition to production, while primarily servicing Grey accounts such as P&G. Townhouse has about 200 employees.

The news comes at a time when clients are increasingly moving production duties in-house while agencies try to offer their own such services in the interest of keeping a greater share of the work. Unilever claimed to have save 30% on production costs in 2017 by doing just that, but the matter of whether they really did that, or whether they still relied heavily on WPP for work in that capacity, depends on who you ask.

New York Magazine gives the Trump White House the supermarket tabloid cover treatment it deserves


“The tabloid cover was the nice handiwork of Design Director Tom Alberty,” New York Magazine Editor-in-Chief Adam Moss says in a statement accompanying its release on Instagram. (The issue hits newsstands today.) “A custom blend of Enquirer and Us Weekly styling.”

The central figure is, naturally, outgoing White House Communications Director Hope Hicksthe subject of Olivia Nuzzi’s cover feature, titled “What Hope Hicks Knows” online (subhed: “The departure of the Trump whisperer has left the White House in even deeper chaos. Which surely pleases some outsiders angling to get back in”).

“If the likes of Us Weekly covered government figures the way they cover reality television stars,” Moss adds, “Hicks would be a tabloid superstar.”

BSSP Launches First Work for Mitsubishi

Last September, Mitsubishi named Butler, Shine, Stern & Partners as its new creative agency of record, following a review which did not include longtime incumbent 180LA.

Now BSSP has launched its first campaign for the brand, promoting the 2018 Eclipse Cross with “A Classic Reborn.”

The campaign is centered around a “Duo” spot featuring violinist Damien Escobar and pianist William Joseph performing acover of Twisted Sister‘s “I Wanna Rock” in a parking garage. Their performance is interspersed with footage of the 2018 Eclipse Cross in action, leading into the new “A Classic Reborn” tagline.

The instrumental covers of a classic rock radio staple is nothing new for automotive advertising, as advertisers can’t seem to resist the comparison of the precision necessary for a good musical performance to that required out of a vehicle. “A Classic Reborn” does gain some authenticity from the pedigrees of the musicians involved in the performance, however, and the spot manages to showcase the vehicle’s features more convincingly than most.

“You get a lot of bang for your buck with the Eclipse Cross – distinctive styling, it’s fun-to-drive, and has a ridiculous amount of technology,” BSSP chief creative officer John Butler said in a statement. “The product speaks for itself, we didn’t feel we needed to create a false reality around it.”

“The juxtaposition of classical instruments playing a contemporary song adds emotion and intrigue to the cinematic footage of the Eclipse Cross,” added Mitsubishi Motors North America chief marketing officer Francine Harsini. “Eclipse Cross is not your typical crossover; it is defiant and clever and offers savvy show-and-tellers a vehicle that’s loaded with style and features at a great price that demands to be seen much like this campaign.”
