FCB Unit Cuts Staff

FCB Southern California has eliminated 14 of 80 positions at its Los Angeles office in operations including traffic, creative and account services, an agency spokesperson said.

A week ago FCB reduced its San Francisco staff by 12 percent [Adweek, May 7], or about 30 employees, as the shop’s $400 million AT&T Wireless account went into review and FCB New York took over the defense. At FCB’s Chicago office, 39 employees were let go from the staff of 725, about five percent.
