RE: UKNM: Agency.com job losses

[David Burrows]

This seems to be happening at many of the larger digital media companies. I

was putting it down to the general internet 'adjustment' that seems to be

going on.


The hype has died down, people are looking at ROI etc. and realising that

they need to rethink their strategies, not just run towards the nearest big

agency that's had plenty of press (Razorfish, Agency.com et al) and throw

some money at them. As the sales charts start to look less vertical, the big

players have realised they've picked up quite a bit of dead weight (which

they were bound to do at their rate of expansion) and are starting to prune

back.


It was bound to happen, unfortunately some of this pruning seems to be

throwing out some valuable people. Catch them while you can.
