Cox Enterprises isn’t some random company. It’s one of the largest privately owned companies in the US. They are somewhat capable of doing things like this.
Having experience with Cox Enterprises, it’s just a massive amalgamation of disparate acquisitions that have never been remotely brought together in a meaningful way so it is a slightly dubious claim. This would require much more coordination across entities than I feel is possible with the CMG I knew of pre-pandemic.
Nah, if you hired a team, it wouldn't matter how divided they were. In fact, them being frantic is probably how we're hearing about it. They needed to advertise their services without looking at the big picture.
