PR and Communications

Promotions and raises pushed to Jan 1 yet the company can still spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on Cannes and Richard says publicly things are turning around. LOL.

Looking for some perspective from the outside. Has your agency delayed annual raises and promotions? I’m working with an OMC agency and was supposed to get a merit increase in Q1. Still waiting to fin...

Congrats to Burson on winning PR Agency of the year at Cannes!!!

How should I be formatting my resume? I understand I should have tangible metrics to demonstrate impact, but do I list responsibilities and skills (ex wrote social copy) that is kind of hard to quanti...

Should I keep applying to jobs? Or wait until the fall? I just finished the final stages of an interview process for a really good job. Unfortunately didn’t get the role. I’ve been wanting to chang...

What are the vibes at MSL these days?

Hi all, for those of you who’ve dedicated blood, sweat and tears to an organisation, worked your butt off all these years, promised a promotion only to find out someone else was selected because, des...

I have a direct report who makes a lot of typos, which is inexcusable if she wants to show up well. She’s gunning for a promotion and disclosed she has dyslexia. She wasn’t using it as an excuse, bu...

Saw Weber Shandwick lost their NA CEO and the global CEO on the same day. What on earth is going on with that Omnicom takeover???
