Carrying the theme…

Seems Publicis in the West — based in Seattle — laid off several this morning as well — both freelancers & creatives.

Susan Giannino, Chairman and CEO of Publicis USA, was out there visiting a couple of weeks ago — and we were told that it was a routine visit and that everything was going great.

Maybe not so much — we’ll hit up the PR people to see how they spin it this time…keeps “hump day” interesting if nothing else.
