BMF makes redundancies after falling client spend
Leading Australian ad agency BMF has retrenched a number of staff.
The agency’s managing partner Dylan Taylor said that the cut backs “relate to declining spend of certain clients”.
The redundancies have been made across a number of departments; it is unclear how many have been made.
“Obviously it’s very sad when people are let go. But unfortunately it’s a consequence of business. Many Australian businesses have been shedding jobs of late,” Taylor said.
It will not surprise me in the least to see more agencies shed staff in the next 1-3 months.
We are looking for a first rate Account Executive, if that’s any help. Email liz@redark.com.au
Let’s not forget they also lost OPSM and Budget Eyewear
Happened to me a year ago (same reason different agency) good luck to all and I know this is of little comfort now but keep your chin up you will bounce back.
As per Liz’s comment, we’re also hiring if that helps. We’re looking for Digital Producers (Jnr/mid/Snr), Digital Tech Producer, Senior Account Manager. Feel free to get in touch – kelly@tongue.com.au
Nice to see, that for the most part, the responses to this post are words of support, encouragement and opportunity for the talented team who have been affected by these changes. Refreshing!
We’re also hiring. Client side. Marketing Campaign Manager – Agency background would suit. Feel free to email bronwyn.shearer@mynrma.com.au No headhunter please.
how cool that this relatively bad news has turned into a recruitment forum! hopefully give hope to those who lost their positions…..one door closes and a few more open. ALWAYS!
And credit to BMF, we all think they must have some good staff judging by the work they do.
Sorry to hear the news. Good to see lots of opportunity from other agencies though. The Monkeys are on the look out for Digital Producers/Project Managers, Designers. Give me a shout direct (no recruiters please) if you fit the bill.
And The Hallway are hiring too. Digital Art Director, Copywriter and Digital Producer roles are open. BMF are a good agency and they will bounce back I’m sure.
Not a nice feeling for people to be losing jobs … Happy for any creatives to contact me at FBI for any freelance/perm opps.

@S2M hiring at the moment. Must be oversalesy, very obnoxious and very low on ethics. #whatisrecruitment?
