TMS restructures following departure of Andrew Lamb

Independent media agency TMS has announced it has restructured its business in the wake of the departure of Andrew Lamb, earlier this month.

The changes see Starcom’s Sydney investment director Luke Hutchinson join the agency as head of investment, while Saurin Worthington moves to the role of chief operating officer.

TMS is currently facing a media review for part of the Lexus account with the dealers currently reviewing the account. The luxury brand is one part of the much larger Toyota account, which is TMS’s largest account.

The announcement:

Leading independent media agency TMS has restructured and as part of this hired Luke Hutchinson as Head of Investment.

Hutchinson was formerly Sydney Investment Director of Starcom where he worked for over 5 years – half of which he worked in their London office. Prior to this he was with OMD for 5 years.

In other changes, Saurin Worthington moves to the role of Chief Operating Officer while still retaining existing client responsibilities and new business priorities.

Marg Cooney retains overall Toyota responsibility in her role of Toyota Chief Business Director.

Chris Mort – TMS Chief Executive Officer said –“Luke’s arrival truly helps this company to realise its ongoing commitment to being a diverse and highly effective media agency. His investment pedigree is superb and will complement the senior team extremely well.

Saurin’s strength in building and maintaining terrific client relationships will be a valuable asset as she broadens her role across the agency’s operations.

And it is difficult to think of anyone more knowledgeable when it comes to Toyota than Marg Cooney – so her overarching business responsibility is only logical as we manage our wider agency retention and growth strategy.”

Luke Hutchinson said –“I am looking forward to joining the team at TMS, a leading independentagency who have delivered successful work for their clients across many years. I am excited to see strong direction and ambition for the business, and I look forward to translating this into continued business results and growth.”
