Former Landor employee files age discrimination suit against agency
Posted in: Uncategorized
A former employee of WPP-owned brand consulting and design firm Landor has filed a suit against her former agency, alleging her termination was “a result of flat-out age discrimination.”
Suzanne Hernandez filed the suit Thursday in Supreme Court of New York in the county of New York against Landor Associates International. The suit charges that Landor “indulges in the same ageism that is standard in the industry,” and says its website shows photos of “visibly young people” and uses language that “emphasizes ‘building flexibility and adaptability’ and the need to ‘thrive on change,’ and also boasts of ‘pruning the things you want to get rid of.'”
“In an industry where the mission is effective communication, Landor’s messaging is clear: age matters,” the suit claims.
