Mike Burns & Co. Hit the Road Again, But With Considerably Less Fanfare

Remember the gigantic story from about this time last year that had everyone in the ad world talking? The one about Mike Burns and his Saatchi 17, the group who said they’d had enough and left Saatchi & Saatchi in droves and went to Interpublic? Well, they’re leaving again, but with a lot less excitement. The reason this time is that they’re being canned. Their sub-agency, OneSeven (get it?), was apparently doing nothing but losing money, so Interpublic gave them the axe.
