Cummins & Partners CEO Michael McConville departs global CEO role

Cummins & Partners Global CEO Michael McConville has departed the agency after nearly two and a half years in the role.

McConville first joined Cummins & Partners in mid-2022 to head up Cummins & Partners’ three offices in Melbourne, Sydney and New York. McConville arrived at the agency following a nearly nine year stint in the UK, working as client managing director and partner at WCRS/Engine, and managing partner at adam&eveDDB on a variety of clients including John Lewis, Volkswagen, Deutsche Telekom, Royal Navy & Marines and the Football League Cup.

At the time McConville said: ““I was open to coming home but it had to be for the right thing. The right thing meant finding an agency with a global mindset, coupled with the ability to make brilliant local work.”

Prior to WCRS/Engine, McConville worked at JWT (now VML) and The Foundry, which was purchased by Ben Lilley’s indie agency SMART in 2010, Working Three and News Limited (now News Corp Australia)
