Publicis Media promotes Toby Barbour to CEO
Toby Barbour is Publicis Media’s new Australia and New Zealand CEO, a promotion from his current role of CEO of Starcom.
The appointment is effective immediately, and comes after Matt James left the role to become global brand president of Publicis’ Zenith in January.
Did you even read the press release? His name is TOBY
Hi there,
Would have been difficult for us to run the story had we not read the press release at all. We’re not that magical or talented.
We do sincerely apologise for the typo though, and meant no disrespect to Toby. It has been corrected.

His name is TOBY!!!!!
Hi Carla,
Yes. It is. No disrespect to Toby, just an unfortunate oversight on our behalf.
Apologies.
Vivienne – Mumbrella
A great choice.
I loved his work on The Great Temptation and Sale of the Century.
I’m whistling off to get a packet of Cambridge durries at the corner store.
Is Tony Barbour any relation to Toby Barbour – cause Toby is going to be miffed at missing out…
Poor Toby, indeed. Sorry for the error. It has been corrected.

I wondered what he was doing after Sale Of the Century?
Not the first time he has been called Tony!
Great appointment. Well done mate.
Good sh!t mate. All the best with the role!
Congrats Tony, good job mate. Miss you x
‘Toby or not Tony, that is the question.’
Quick acceleration to a senior leadership role with no prior experience leading and exec team and nothing tangible to back it up. Would love to read about the results and success of his time at starcom with seeing those things realise business results rather than just stuff they are doing. Will drive a nice football culture though!
