Clemenger BBDO chair Robert Morgan: More divisions to merge or close, creative agencies to follow CHEP ‘powerhouse’ into e-comm, data

Clemenger BBDO Group executive chairman Robert Morgan has a long-held view that "you take your medicine early” in a downturn, flagging more consolidation within the group as the big creative agency brands become central hubs for creative, e-commerce, data and precision marketing. But he “absolutely won’t” be replicating WPP’s centralised production model in Australia and New Zealand for lower-cost, high velocity work. “We won’t be doing it that way,” he says. Morgan also believes there’s "no question" a shift of at least 20% of people working more flexibly out of Clemenger offices is a given.      See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
