Zipeure

James Zipeure has been hired by Havas Media as chief commercial officer returning to the media agency scene after three years away running his own ventures.

His last role in agencies was as digital trading director for Aegis Media, a role he held for three years, which he left in July 2011 to become chief operating officer of the Video Entertainment Network Asia (VENA), before starting DigvAsia (digital ventures Asia) last April.

Havas Media was established in Australia at the end of last year following the dissolution of an agreement with Aegis Media, with Mike Wilson installed as the CEO of the company, which sits alongside Havas Worldwide in North Sydney, providing a full-service offering for some clients.
