Staffing Cuts at mcgarrybowen New York and Chicago
Posted in: UncategorizedWe just confirmed a series of tips we received today regarding staffing changes/reductions at mcgarrybowen‘s offices in New York and Chicago.
Much of the recent news for the agency has been positive: earlier this month it won the Intel account and debuted campaigns for Verizon and Courtyard by Marriott, among others.
As of today, however, at least two dozen employees are no longer with the agency. Here’s the official statement:
Tipsters held that the total number dismissed was less than 10 in Chicago and up to 30 in New York; the 4 percent quote seems to confirm the overall total if not the estimates for each office.
mcgarrybowen has seen some major changes over the past six months: Tom Sewell took over the presidency in May before the agency lost Pizza Hut to Deutsch LA, and today brought news that parent company Dentsu Aegis had purchased the London-based mobile specialty agency Fetch Media, which will work with the other agencies on its roster.
But as of this moment, we have no word on the reason behind the realignment or the departments affected.
