McCann World Group revenues were down as much as 25% under the tenure of just-ousted CEO Nick Brien according to Adweek. The magazine also reported that Brien was "surprised and angry" when informed yesterday that he was out. He must not read the Wall Street Journal, which reported last week he'd likely out the door by the end of the year. And while Adweek reports he doesn't have a new job lined up, his landing will be cushioned by a $4.2 million contract buy-out.
