Patrick Whitnall departs Publicis Sport and Entertainment after 15 years with holding group
Managing director of Publicis content, including Publicis Sport and Entertainment, Patrick Whitnall, has stepped down after five months in the role and 15 years at Publicis Groupe.
During his tenure, Whitnall has worked in both London and Sydney across Starcom and the holding company itself, but is now following the lead of “an idol”, John Lennon, and focusing on raising his second baby, due in October.

Whitnall’s new focus will be caring for his family
Good on ya’! Go well mate, and good luck with the second little one. #VdB
Good onya Paddy – family first. Althought I’m excited to see what you do next.
