Congrats Katie!
Loved working with you. Congratulations.
Another big loss for Y&R. Sash you will be missed, but you will go on to bigger and better things I’m sure.
Contrast how Boz works at announcing staff departures vs. the McCann announcement. One has class. The other has spite. Y&R about to go through a great phase I think!
“In its commitment to a transformation agenda focused on creating new growth pathways and customer-first creative solutions”
Onwards and upwards Sasha.
Good luck Katie, you’ll need it with the current regime.
There’s another CEO in Sydney who could learn a lot from this press release.
“customer-first creative solutions”
By creative solutions, do you mean advertising?
Congratulations Katie! x
Hi Boz
All the best with the next move Sasha – A true leader, who always put her staff first.
