IPG Mediabrands Australia has appointed Travis Johnson, former commercial director of Mediabrands as chief executive officer of Mnet, the company’s mobile business which was purchased earlier this year.

Henry Tajer, executive chairman of IPG Mediabrands Australia, said Johnson was heavily involved in the acquisition of Mnet and was natural choice to be CEO.

“Travis was a key player in the considerations leading to the Mnet acquisition and since then has helped drive Mnet’s growth and assimilation into our group businesses and client portfolios,” said Tajer. “He is a prolific thinker on digital communications and one of the most effective executives I have ever worked with.”
