Leslie Nassar to depart Razorfish with talk of launching his own agency

Leslie Nassar, technology director of digital agency Razorfish is to depart the firm, Mumbrella’s sister title Encore has revealed.

Nassar joined the company in early 2012 and is rumoured to be looking at setting up his own independent operation.

“We’ve all enjoyed working with Leslie and benefited from his innovative thinking,” said Doug Chapman, managing director of Razorfish. “We wish him all the very best in his new ventures and we’ll be announcing his successor in due course.”

Nassar led a number of digital campaigns during his time at the agency including Samsung’s commercial partnership with the Sydney Opera House which saw photos of everyday Australians projected on the sails of the landmark building. Another campaign Nassar oversaw, again for Samsung, saw the creation of an online audio feed which provided alternative commentary from Roy and HG during the recent Lions versus Wallabies matches.
