Alice Manners departs 303 MullenLowe after two weeks, joins client they just lost
Alice Manners has left her role at 303 MullenLowe Perth after just two weeks, joining Cash Converters as the new chief of digital commerce, marketing and product.
The new appointment marks Manners’ third job this year.
Gosh, that’s not a good look…
C’mon , that’s such a negative angle and a poor character assessment of Alice, you should be bigger than ‘third job this year’ . Alice is a great digital strategist and in a world dominated by males a beacon for all the things Mumbrella support . Please stop this cheap and nasty headline grabbing bullshit.
Hi Jim,
It is, I reckon, an almost unique series of events of somebody: 1. Joining an agency; 2. Leaving after a few days; 3. Joining one of their clients; 4. Where a pitch is called and the agency resigns.
If you’re suggesting that Zoe should not have written this story just because Alice is a woman, then I think we’ll have to agree to disagree. What’s the positive angle you have in mind?
Cheers,
Tim – Mumbrella
Good answer Tim, and (for the very little it’s worth) I think you’re right. The phrase “third job this year” though does have a hint of judgement to it, as factual as it is. Anyone who moves jobs, doesn’t like it for whatever reason, and then moves would also be in the same boat. Again though, it happened and it’s news – the only reasons you ever need.
God she gets around..
This type of behaviour does not set the right example to any Digital Young Gun. (Edited by Mumbrella for legal reasons)
Now THIS is what the Friday press release was made for!
I believe she was at Marketforce less than 3 months.
