BMF CEO Dominic Stinton departs agency after 18-months

BMF CEO Dominic Stinton is set to depart the agency to return to the UK after just over a year-and-a-half with the agency, Mumbrella can reveal.

Stinton joined BMF in August 2013, following two-and-a-half years as managing director of VCCP’s social media and experiential arm VCCP Share in London, an agency he was involved in launching.

Steve McArdle has been named the new managing director of the agency from the role of managing partner, while Christina Aventi takes the role of executive planning director after holding a senior planning role at the agency for nearly a decade.

It has been a tough 18 months for BMF which saw the agency fold it’s Melbourne office into fellow-Enero creative agency Naked Communications last September, losing the MLA lamb account to The Monkeys and recently losing the lead position on the Toohey’s roster.
