Casey’s grand illusion of creating his own agency, while being a client, proved to be another of his hare brained schemes. His own ego put him in the same planet as Sorrell. I’m sure it will all start to unravel as other WPP units have engaged directly with Dell to save the day.
Experienced global marketers saw through the charade he created and a core reason WPP couldn’d find a head of Enfartico until this past summer. Boone is in way over his head.
Wonder if Casey turns up at a WPP agency as a thank you from Martin?
I don’t think Martin works that way… he already “got what he wanted” from Casey … that’s just my guess…
Dell CMO Casey Jones Canned…
It seems the reported “probation” of Dell VP of Marketing Casey Jones has progressed to the expected outcome; he’s been fired….
Founder,
Loved your comment on AdScam – and though we occasionally screw up – adage is notorious for going back and “re-reporting” stories. It’s Jonah’s way of working around that pesky issue of “citing” sources. Like you for instance, and getting this rumor out.
