We. Communications cut staff in Singapore amid budget pressures, suspending benefits and raises.

We. Communications, a global PR firm based in Seattle, laid off a significant number of employees in its Singapore office on September 25, 2025, citing shrinking client budgets, increased in-house PR teams, and rising competition. The cuts affected multiple departments, including creative, digital, and operations, with the creative team losing about half its staff. Affected employees received severance and transition support, following Singapore’s labor guidelines. The company also suspended wellness programs, learning benefits, referrals, and bonuses until June 2026, pausing salary reviews. This follows a prior 2% global reduction in July, primarily impacting U.S. staff, due to budget cuts from major tech clients. We. Communications, with over 1,500 employees across 100 markets, affirmed its long-term commitment to Singapore despite the restructuring.
