All the best mate.
Godspeed and best of luck, mate.
What goes on in Vegas, clearly doesn’t stay in Vegas.
Am I allowed to enquire?
Nice one lasting as long as you did. I did warn you. Good luck in your next venture.
Good luck Kingy, you’ll end up somewhere more deserving of your talents.
Despite the best intentions of Innocean’s new global guard, the Sydney office will continue to flounder until the real problem is lined up against the wall Korean style.
The real problem being the ‘Commander’ or the Koreans?
Sometimes, it’s not exactly a level playing field.
One man can’t turn an agency around. No matter how hard he works.
It takes management, creative, and clients that are all happy to paddle in the same direction…or at the very least, happy to allow SOMEONE to steer the boat.
It’s an even tougher gig when the local and international ‘wants’ don’t align too.
Best of luck Dave.
The odds were never in your favour.
