Dell and Enfatico at a Standstill

We’re told that Dell is making a point to trim the Enfatico team of folks they don’t like &#151 i.e. by surreptitiously handing out pink slips to addies they consider unworthy. No word yet on how many have been let go &#151 but the why is much more interesting than the “how many,” in our opinion.

Interesting, since Lisa Fabiano was just tapped for the chief talent position. Maybe they should look from the top down, rather than the other way around.

We also hear that the Australian business unit of Dell wants out of the WPP arrangement all together. If they have seen Enfartico, the countdown clock or any of the numerous other recent knocks at the gian agency that isn’t, we’re not at all surprised.

For now, all this is speculation. We’ve got an event to attend.

Create a social media strategy, launch your campaign, and track the results in our Social Media Marketing Boot Camp starting February 16. The online event and workshop will feature speakers including The Onion‘s Baratunde Thurston (left), Facebook’s Morin Oluwole, and bitly’s Tim Devane. Register now.
