Another merger? Takeover? I'm getting fed up with this business. MediaGuardian.co.uk | Advertising | Japanese ad giant buys stake in London agencyI'm just back from a party in a posh bar off Carnaby Street held by a London recruitment agency. It was kind of bizarre (but also a great party!): 70% of the guests there were unemployed art directors and writers, desperately trying to get at least some freelance work ("A permanent job? Fully employed?? Are you kidding?"). Like, you're sipping your free champagne and ask the person next to you: "What are you doing?" - "Oh, I'm just another unemployed Art Director". And the place was full with people like that - your cartoonist included, of course - really good designers, copywriters - all out of work. The ad industry is going downhill. Did some 'networking' though and met lots of nice folks.
