Hasta La Creative!

We hear that Saatchi & Saatchi in the UK has let go 22 addies from its interactive team &#151 out of 25. We haven’t been able to confirm this number, but the alleged whittling has been attributed to Tom Eslinger (the chap in the above photo), who is the agency’s worldwide creative director for interactive.

“(Eslinger) has alienated, bullied and demoralised the UK Interactive team to the extent that every senior member of the team has left, citing him as the problem,” said our spy.

According to his company bio, he “spearheads Saatchi & Saatchi’s fast-growing worldwide interactive capability.” Ironic, considering that in just one year since taking the reigns of S&SUK’s interactive, he’s slashed the majority of the department.

More after the jump.
