RE: Nokia and Wieden & Kennedy split

Sadly for Weiden & Kennedy - and all the redundancies - Nokia may have created a smart devices and mobile phones units but until Nokia can get some smart-strategic-thinking into their heads it is a doomed brand. W&K may, with hindsight be well of out of the it all.

Diary: W&K suit's bum rap

If you want to witness possibly the worst white, middle-class rap there has ever been, then get down to Wieden & Kennedy's blog, http://wklondon.typepad.com/welcome_to_optimism. The shop had to make some redundancies recently and, while this would prompt most people to retreat to a dark room with a bottle of whisky, it inspired the former W&K account exec Fern Trelfa to film herself doing an embarrassingly girly rap - with terrifying results. The lyrics go:

The changing role of recruitment consultants and the need to innovate

Purple has been in operation for 10 years this year and we’ve seen some pretty dramatics shifts in the way that our creative and media sector clients view our role for them.Ironically we were founded in a time of recession and now, celebrating our 10th anniversary,we have again been experiencing a recession although we are beginning to see a light at the end of the tunnel.The recent downturn has seen consolidation and turmoil within our sector and we have observed amongst our agency clients a real need for qualification from us in terms of our fees and services. We, in turn, have made a concerted effort to adapt and offer a less rigid approach.We understand that HR departments have been stretched to their absolute limit over the past year with redundancies and heavier work loads as a result of freelancer and shorter term contract hirings. So we have a more important role to play.Whilst it is still rare for our clients to offer us exclusivity, we have sensed that the clients, who now work in closer partnership with us, are finding it beneficial to have a more transparent way of working.An example of this is an arrangement we’ve made with one of our largest clients.We provide them with a shared quarterly P&L for our joint business and profit is calculated on the cost of us delivering business, staff costs and the amount they spend on recruitment.This can even result in a rebate for them – the more they invest, the more, potentially, they get back - and this results in greater involvement at a senior level from our clients.Purple is not alone in adopting new ways of working – examples can be seen across the recruitment industry – and we believe that tough economic conditions can sometimes force the most interesting changes.However, If you have a consistent team, clients will continue to feel secure during difficult times and no amount of innovation in terms of process can make up for having a strong, loyal team of consultants working for you.

RE: Fallon makes ten redundancies at London office

KAte: Think its unfair to say Fallon are no longer one of the better agencies just because they have fired people. Recession has affected all agencies. Fallon, Mother and Weiden are still the only creative agencies I'd want to work for currently.

RE: Fallon makes ten redundancies at London office

Recession has affected all the great agencies. Harsh. Am sure Fallon will continue with great work though.
