Y&R Australia’s communications director Lynda Gray is leaving the agency after a decade in the role.
Gray handled communications and PR for Y&R agencies including GPY&R, IdeaWorks, The Campaign Palace and newly launched digital agency VML.
In an email, Gray said:
After more than 10 fabulous, fraught, funny and frustrating years with the Y&R family I’m taking time out to make a start on the bucket list.
To all of you – and trust me there are so many – thank you for the wonderful, often hilarious times, and the many great stories.
Advertising is a fascinating and challenging business and I have been fortunate to observe it at close quarters as both a journalist and a PR for more years than I care to admit.
A replacement has yet to be found for Gray.
