CEO Wendy Clark is, certainly, leaving Dentsu Worldwide – on December 31 because the Japan-owned advert big strikes to “one administration workforce.” Her job, it says, is being “discontinued.”
From January 2023 Dentsu Group Inc. CEO Hiroshi Igarashi will run the company’s 4 areas together with the three that reported the Clark. Dentsu Worldwide’s companies at present embody Dentsu Artistic (the previous Mcgarrybowen), Carat, iProspect and efficiency marketer Merkle. Dentsu Worldwide got here into being when Dentsu purchased Aegis Group, the previously quoted proprietor of the Carat media company.
No official phrase for Clark but (she’s there till December in any case) though the parting appears comparatively amicable. One worker of DI earned £13.5m up to now 12 months so which may be a substantial sweetener.
Dentsu is a notoriously opaque and bureaucratic organisation in Japan. It’s arduous to see how this lack of (relative) independence for the worldwide operation will assist the worldwide operation.
