DDB Group Sydney announces redundancies amid industry challenges

DDB Group Sydney has confirmed it will be making 15 redundancies this week, as a result of the challenging landscape many agencies may face as they prepare for the year ahead.
In a statement, DDB Group Sydney CEO Sheryl Marjoram acknowledged the difficult decision, emphasising the human impact of these changes: “We will be making redundancies within our Group this week. Redundancies within creative agencies are an unfortunate cost of doing business, but they are not just a business matter; they are also a human matter.
“People who have done brilliant things for DDB Group, who are both talented and nice, will be affected. They will leave with the support of our EAP program, our connections to assist in finding their next role, and our commitment to be of help in any way possible.
Out of respect for the individuals involved, Marjoram said that DDB Group Sydney will not comment on specific names, leaving it to those affected to decide how and when they wish to share their news: “These are moments none of us got into this business for, but when they inevitably come, we believe in handling them in the most respectful way possible, with all the care, comfort, and privacy we can offer.”
