Jenny Pham resigns as Essence’s vice president, client partner

September 23, 2019 10:17

Essence’s vice president, client partner Jenny Pham has resigned, Mumbrella can reveal, just two months after she began to lead a “partnership” between Essence and fellow WPP media agency Ikon on the Myer account.

Pham’s resignation, effective from 25 October, is one of a number of exits connected to both Myer and its media agencies. Ikon’s Melbourne MD Mel Roberts and Ikon staffers Louise Anderson and Linh Nguyen have also stepped down from their roles.

The Ikon and Essence partnership preceded five Ikon redundancies on the Myer account. These redundancies constituted a quarter of Ikon’s Melbourne team, which previously sat at approximately 20 people, and left one Ikon team member on the account.

An Essence loss 24 Sep 19

Firstly – this might be old or outdated news. But I believe Kathmandu was recently an Essence client. The brand has just appointed Vizeum. I don’t know if the timing coincides with Jenny Pham’s exit though.
