Two in, dozens out as change sweeps through Dentsu
Dentsu has announced two major hires as the group’s restructure continues, with dozens of other roles reportedly affected by the ongoing changes.
HERO’s Ben Coulson has joined as Dentsu Creative’s chief creative officer ANZ, and DDB’s Katie Firth will head up Melbourne operations as local MD.
The new appointments follow a number of high profile departures, including the agency’s first joint chief creative officers, Mandie van der Merwe and Avish Gordhan, and Dentsu Carat’s Sydney managing director, Lauren Small.
“Changes sweep through Dentsu”… “the group’s restructure continues” “ongoing changes”…
Who the hell would want to work at a place that has been in perpetual turmoil / restructuring / changes since what… 2017? 2016 even? As in 6 or 7 years non-stop. Will it ever end?
the executives and the headhunters are getting rich, but the shareholders certainly aren’t
what do the agency have to show for this mammoth investment in executive salaries over the past few years? There’s certainly no great work. Has there been any growth?
unless some big wins come in soon, it’s going to get really ugly
you dont think 36 redundancies and a string of leadership departures, is already ugly? the whole industry is growing and dentsu is contracting. something is not right there
Can I get the payrise I was promised in 2015 sometime soon?
