Redundant?

AUCKLAND, Today: The Comms Council is offering 12 months’ free membership for the “significant” numbers of agency people who have been made redundant in recent times.

The council has posted this notice on its website: “Over the last few weeks, many of our members have been forced by unfortunate circumstances to make some very difficult decisions about people and resourcing within their organisations.

“The numbers falling out of our industry appear significant, as many agencies have been forced to respond to declines in client spend or get their businesses in shape for the recession.

“The numbers appear significant, as agencies have been forced to respond to declines in client spend or get their businesses in shape for the recession.”

“At the Comms Council, our goal has been to help everyone stay connected with the industry through these difficult times.

“Therefore, we would like to offer the benefits of a Comms Council membership for 12 months, free of charge, to any individual made redundant from a member agency.

“This will include continuing to receive newsletters, ongoing access to website material, invitations at member prices to awards, seminars, events and training etc.”
