FutureBrand Global CEO Nick Sykes has left the company after 15 years, along with the agency’s global executive leadership team. The exits come as McCann works on restructuring FutureBrand’s reporting structure, according to international reports.
The leadership departures include Gianni Tozzi, Global Chief Creative Officer; Jon Tipple, Global Chief Strategy Officer; Katy Nunn, People and Culture Director; Lauren Maynard, Global Chief Growth Officer; and Louise Nelson, Executive Assistant. Tozzi was based in Milan, while the other members of the leadership team were based in London. All of them left the company last week.
Under the new structure, FutureBrand will no longer operate under McCann Worldgroup’s central global setup. Instead, its teams will report directly to McCann’s local offices, with the London team moving under McCann UK.
The changes come as the proposed merger between Omnicom and Interpublic Group moves closer to completion. The transaction is expected to be finalised shortly.
e4m had reported last week that the global structure for the combined media operations of the Omnicom and IPG groups is also expected to be announced soon.
