Jeremy Nicholas
Creative agency BMF has announced the departure of CEO Jeremy Nicholas after 12 years with the company.
Nicholas has been CEO of the agency for almost three years and before that was executive planning director. A statement from the company said that Nicholas was leaving in order to “pursue other opportunities.”
Mumbrella understands that a least one other member of staff has also left the agency today.
All the best mate, going to kill it!
A recent One Show and Clio would suggest it’s not losing it’s way.
Jeremy has done an outstanding job over 12 years at that agency and should be justifiably proud of the impact he’s had on one of Australia’s great agencies
Jeremy is a great planner, Nick. He doesn’t leave BMF better than he found it when he took the CEO job though.
The fact that his successor will not join for some time says it all – he’s not working a notice period and this is not a transition he is part of.
Shame, Jez is a lovely bloke. But I guess this is what inevitably happens when you get tricky with your business models and start basing them on Roman legions, or whatever the hell it was. Does BMF actually have any long tenure (8+ years) people left at all? Who knows, might be the catalyst they need to kick it back into gear again.
Seems BMF is unable to learn from past mistakes, Surely after so many expensive, high profile imported duds they might seek out some local talent (not internally of course, that well is drier than a Stephen Wright routine).
