Internal Email From Lowe CEO Refutes AdWeek D+ With Babble

“What the fuck was all that about? Why do people in management talk shit all the time? You’re in the communications business, stop talking like a fucking Power Point presentation.” Those are the words of George Parker after he was leaked an internal Lowe NY email from agency head Mark Wnek who babbled on endlessly trying to rally his troops after AdWeek awarded the agency a D+ in its latest report card issue. Parker is right. The business-blather laden email could have been boiled down to a simple, “We suck. Or at least AdWeek says we suck. We’ve hired some new people to help get our shit together. We need to win more accounts. Please don’t quit and go to another agency.” Oops…looks like the defections have already begun.
