Norris has been managing director of Carat Sydney for three and half years and prior to that was Mitchells NSW managing director for five years, while Fraser has been general manager for three years.

The major leadership changes come as Carat fights to retain the $220m Woolworths media account which has been up for pitch since February. The pitch is tipped to be resolved in the next fornight.

In the interim, all Sydney business matters are being run by Simon Ryan and Carat trading director Paul Brooks.
