AND THE WINNER IS: MCCANN

4/22/2019

Of 11 "top" agencies, 3 did not have one person over 55

We looked at AdAge's 2019 Top Agencies and found that, while 55+ represented 19% of the total staff, 3 agencies had a grand total of 0 including, funny enough, Cashmere, AdAge's top multicultural agency of the year. Which only serves to remind us: Age is the last frontier, the forgotten minority. Of 17 people visibly over 55 from the 89 shown, McCann (my old Alma Mater along with FCB) accounted fully for 30%.

The agencies

If I didn't recognize any 55+ as being 55+, my apologies. If I said someone was (shudder!) 55+ and he/she wasn't... my apologies too, of course.
