This is a heartfelt post. The recent announcement of Wunderman Thompson, VML Y&R being merged under one entity VML took a while for me to get a grasp of. Or let me say, it took me a while to digest what had happened. Having spent half my career with Wunderman, JWT (Contract) and Y&R in one capacity or the other, it’s almost a body blow (Maybe not that much). For being a strong pillar of planning in india (JWT), to the one of loyalty/ CRM globally (Wunderman) it’s a bit sad to see these two brands walk into the sunset. Make no mistake, these are two brands that have commanded solid presence. Wunderman at one time was the largest CRM agency in the world and JWT the largest advertising agency in India. Agencies are about people and people are resilient. So what led to their decline? Thoughts? https://lnkd.in/dNkYCB2V

1yWith you nikhil bhagwat. For me, it wasnt just about the end of an agency, but of an era.
