Former CEO of IPG Mediabrands’ Ansible Scott Player takes on role at APD
The former CEO at IPG Mediabrands’ mobile and technology business Ansible – formerly Mnet – Scott Player has reappeared as CEO of ASX-listed digital services firm APD.
Player’s departure from IPG Mediabrands was announced just shy of two months ago, with hints he had taken on a senior role outside the group.
Player joined the IPG Mediabrands group in 2012 when it acquired the creative agency he co-founded in 2009 with his sister Kristy, Airborne (formerly Creative Breeze), before he went on to head up Ansible.

Awesome hire APD. If you work there, you have great times ahead with Scott on board.
Yayyy! Congratulations Scott!
A clever, good guy. All the best, Playboy!
Great hire. Congrats Scott.
Congrats, mate. And best of luck in the new gig. You achieved so much at Ansible and Mediabrands and I’ve no doubt your expertise will be very valuable at APD and you’ll be a superstar there too. APD folk – you’ve got great leader in Scott.
Congrats Scott.
Congratulations Scott and to the team at APD. Exciting times ahead.
