Parker Rips Enfatico big time

November 5, 2008

In the trademarked George Parker Format, Enfatico receives a through beating that notes that DELL Inc has just froze hiring and is now looking for serious cost cutting measures… Parker predicts very hard times for Enfatico. In fact he is alluding that Enfatico will shut down.

this is the shit that happens when you have a one client shop, and the client gets in trouble. You can’t say I didn’t warn those fucktards.

Now in all honesty we somewhat agree. We feel that though Enfatico will not “shut down” soon as per say… in our opinion they are going to have to do layoffs before they are even fully staffed…. the shut down part might show up later….

Dell has frozen hiring (Just like WPP!) And is offering workers five day, unpaid vacations. Well that’s fucking generous of them. And that brings up the question of Enfatico, which seems to have been on a paid vacation for the first ten months of the relationship. Full Story

One thing we have learned.. is that Parker may or may not be right all the time… but his arguments are based on a fairly solid understanding of how Advertising works…. remember, this guy has been doing advertising for decades..

Also worth noting, Enfatico wouldn’t be the first startup to face extreme problems during this recession.

    It may be decades… But it feels like centuries…
    The reason the Enfatico thing is so fraught, is that they did fuck all for the first ten months. If they had had work out there for a while that was driving sales, then they would have some sort of cushion. Right now they have NO track record. Why would a client lay off their own people when they can show an immediate bottom line saving by killing the agency? The Poisoned Dwarf will make heads roll if this goes rotten. Anyone with a contract will be fucked… Sir Martin NEVER loses a legal battle. NEVER.
