"In response to the current economic climate, advertising budgets are being reduced in virtually every industry. On a comparative basis, CP+B's business is doing well but we are not immune to the constriction of the economy. Our two main responsibilities are to our clients and to our employees. And in order to most prudently manage our business, we have taken the difficult step of reducing our staff by 60 of our 900+ employees. We do not anticipate any further staff reductions. These are extraordinary times and we hope that we will not have to do this again."
60 out of 900 isn't that bad, but then again - didn't expect it to be them.

maybe those who got laid off will finally see the light... literally, since you know they haven't left that fucking office building since they started working there.

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope the economy starts to recover soon.

That sucks. They should all get together and start their own agency.

I predict that they will close the Boulder, CO office within a year.

I've noticed that general Pattern amongst the company's that are owned by MDC partners Worldwide. And I heard that statement before from another of their companies... It's a real shame that the economy is shitting on us right now. Because like CP+B their are other agencies under that umbrella who were working real hard to make a name for themselves. I hope all the members associated to this find alternate solutions ASAP! Wish the best of luck.
