Mass Layoffs at JWT - offices closing

August 1, 2008

It appears that the phone is ringing, but no one is answering at J.Walter Thompson … Sources are stating that JWT is in the process of closing multiple shops, people getting fired right and left.

We’re told that the Boston and Denver branches are completely gone, as in no linger exist. Creative departments in Detroit and Dallas were killed and “Atlanta had some kind of creative shakeup.” As for the New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and LA shops our source could not verify their status. Full Story

How this was discovered is what makes it interesting, calls to their offices were all greeted in voice mail.. or nothing at all. So it’s possible that the employees there had no clue the AX was coming down on them.

Story is developing….
