Razorfish Australia co-founder Iain McDonald departs
McDonald
Razorfish has confirmed its co-founder and respected ad industry figure Iain McDonald is leaving the agency next week to concentrate on “personal projects”, but has said he will not start a new digital agency.
McDonald started Amnesia 16 years ago with Terry Carney, before it was sold to Razorfish in 2006, and has been the executive creative director for the merged entity since then.
In a statement he said: “With things going well for Razorfish and me having ideas I want to pursue without any strings attached, it’s the right time. It’s been carefully planned for a while and I am in no doubt that Razorfish is ready.
Iain has been an inspiration. Though we’re going to miss him at Razorfish, I can’t wait to see what he does next…
Good luck, Iain!
Best of luck mate – you’re an inspiration and leader in this industry
One of the nicest guys I have ever had the pleasure of working with. That is even before you get onto his smarts.
All the very best Iain I’m sure it will be amazing.
Great work Iain, an industry stalwart and well respected/recognised and for all the right reasons.
Looking forward to hearing more about your exciting new adventures when they no doubt make the headlines!
All the best mate
Good luck Ian, very interested to see what the next move is
One word describes Iain “humble” Good luck mate.
