Well that merger worked well.
AGENCY LANGUAGE: “Following a discussion with Miles Joyce about the direction for whiteGREY moving forward, we have agreed that a change of leadership is required and as such Miles has left the business.”
ENGLISH LANGUAGE: Miles politely responded “Go and get f*cked you rabid pr*cks”
On the WPP world. A lot of agencies underperforming and dragging the group down. Make a difference or expect to be merged. You’ve read it here first.
I’m surprised they didn’t spin it as “family” reasons again, that worked a (convincing) treat!
