Layoffs at Mullen

Sad news locally for me. According to Ad Age, Mullen, the Wenham, MA based ad agency, could lay off up to 40% of it's staff following the loss of the Nextel account last month. No official word from the agency as is the norm in these situations.

After recently returning to the agency world after a very long period of unemployment, I can identify with the pending plight Mullen staffers are facing.

I wish I could say my agency is hiring but unfortunately, in this economy, we are not.
