Jim Palmer, Campbell Ewald CEO, fired after 'Ghetto Day' email

Following an email that invited employees to take part in ‘Ghetto Day', Jim Palmer, CEO at advertising agency Campbell Ewald, has been fired.

According to Agency Spy, the email was sent by Jim Houck - Executive Creative Director at the company. It was sent in October 2015 to “every member of one of his teams”, but only started circulating online last week.

According to Agency Spy, the email read: ”Also please share with the teams that today is officially Ghetto Day in the [San Antonio office], and we're inviting our Big D home******* to cycle in and pop a freak with us.

“Ghetto music, Malt 45s at lunch, and of course, drugs and prostitution are legal all day until close of business. Word, my cerebral gangsters.”
