It is being merged with Deutsch, another IPG agency. If one is to believe George Parker of Adscam fame (among many other things), and usually I do, it is because the CEO, executive board and other higher-ups at IPG are a bunch of greedy morons with their heads in the sand about the direction Michael Roth is taking the holding company. Based on IPG's (and others') performance, he's probably on to something.
I worked at Lowe from June to August of 2006. They were doing poorly then, much like they had been for the few years before I worked there and pretty much ever since. They were bleeding clients and money and had cleaned out the creative department quite a few times before and since. Despite the fact that there were a lot of things going on above my pay grade (which was $0), it was a great experience. I worked on actual, real projects for actual real clients and had work produced (a microsite). I met some pretty cool people, a few of which who have become incredible friends. I really had no idea what I was doing there and just tried to keep my head down, do my work and not let anyone find out I had no idea what I was doing. Nonetheless, it was a great learning experience and part of me is sad to see it go.
The website is still up. It's an awesome page. Enjoy!
