We Hear: MARC USA Lowers the Axe

Our watchful tipsters tell us that MARC has laid off five employees in both its Pittsburgh and Chicago offices. Sources tell us that this is already the third round of layoffs this year for the agency, which has apparently been without a Pittsburgh ECD since January.

When calling MARC for a response, just a mention of the Agency Spy name resulted in a second of silence followed by a quick, yet polite brush off from the PR lady, who was “running late for a meeting.” That will surely help squash the rumors.
