Lately, the work doesn’t seem to be coming in. And whether it’s because of bad work or bad business practices, people are leaving all over the place.

notes that with Kraft’s recent guard-change, a lot of business was taken from “longtime” agency JWT. Young and Rubicam may team with Wunderman, says Adweek, in an attempt to sweep up the loose change.
