Mindshare’s Christian Solomon to lead Spark Foundry Melbourne

Spark Foundry has appointed former Mindshare Melbourne leader Christian Solomon as its new Melbourne managing director.

Solomon replaces Peter Butler, who held the role for a decade before departing in February to join independent agency Media33 as managing partner.

He confirmed his exit from WPP last week, having joined Mindshare Melbourne in 2018 as NAB managing partner. Prior to that, he spent six years with Mediacom China, where he rose to chief digital officer.
