Campbell Ewald Moving Offices to Ford Field

[tkelly1986]

It's great when Detroit poaches jobs from the suburbs but not the other way around. Campbell Ewald had a big office in Warren. Is the space in Ford Field bigger? perhaps they're downsizing after losing the GM account?

To be fair, Campbell Ewald started in Detroit and was in the city till 1978 when Warren poached it.

Yea I just like how people on this forum get excited when jobs move from the suburbs to Detroit. If it was a new company hiring new employees downtown I would be more excited.

Amen. Detroit's got a lot of unemployed ad execs.

Moving employees downtown helps to strengthen downtown. Nobody gives a shit if some suburb gets a few more employees because it doesn't matter to the region one bit. Will this really affect Warren? Probably not.

As to nobody giving a shit, you will forgive me if I and others who actually live in those suburbs feel differently. Strengthening Ferndale's tax base does more for my city than strengthening Detroit's does - at least for the foreseeable future.

The point about poaching jobs is valid - regardless of whether its city to suburb or vice versa. Its not job growth, its [[as others have put it before me) rearranging deck chairs.
