Paul Brooks named as new CEO of media agency Carat

Paul Brooks has been named as the new CEO of one of Australia’s biggest media agencies Carat.

Brooks: “we need an absolute focus on client service”

The Englishman is promoted to the role vacated by Simon Ryan in February when he was elevated to be CEO parent group Dentsu Aegis Network Australia and New Zealand following the sudden departure of Luke Littlefield.

Brooks was the favourite internal candidate for the role, having been head of investment for Carat for a year and for the last 18 months president of Dentsu Aegis’ media investment arm Amplifi.
