Each year 1/3 of agency professions plan to leave their current workplace. “That scares the sh** out of me,” says Kim Getty, Partner and Director of Account Management, at Deutsch LA’s Cannes Lion Forum, “Ending the Agency Talent Rotisserie.” Deutsch LA unveiled our talent study with the 4A’s on that topic during the session.
