Former McCann Sydney planning director Mark Pollard is to become global planning director for Lenovo at Saatchi & Saatchi NY.
Mumbrella reported Pollard’s departure from McCann in March but at that stage he was unable to say where he was headed.
But he has revealed on his blog: “I’ll be joining Saatchi & Saatchi NY in 2 weeks as SVP, Global Planning Director on Lenovo and also applying digital thinking across the agency’s clients.”
Pollard told Mumbrella: “I’m looking forward to the New York expeirence, and also to work with something of scale.”
Saatchi & Saatchi NY won computer giant Lenovo earlier this year.
Tim Burrowes founded Mumbrella in 2008. He worked on Mumbrella until 2021. At various points he was editor, content director and editor-at-large. He returned to Mumbrella as Publisher in January 2025
