I don't how any company can survive in Michigan? The politicians and unions ran saked the state while molding the people into something there not.
So sad.

The creative industry in-state that wasn't reliant upon automotive has been doing quite fine as of late. Sadly, the bigger agency's who traditionally handled the large automotive accounts are all in the same bag as BBDO - they are either laying people off like crazy or shutting their doors completely.

That really sucks though, cause BBDO was a major employer for creative jobs in Michigan...

"When Chrysler filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection April 30, BBDO was listed as one of its largest creditors. Chrysler owed it $58.1 million."
How the fuck do you let someone run up a credit line that big?

"Carl Galeana, owner of Van Dyke Dodge in Warren, said BBDO and Chrysler "were like Siamese twins for many years. I feel terrible about it."
"They did great work for us when they were allowed to do things themselves," Galeana said."- Yeaaahh, sounds like someone gets it!
