Ben Sharp exits ADMA after just two weeks
The managing director of industry body the Association for Data-Driven Marketing and Advertising (ADMA) Ben Sharp has exited the company after less than two weeks in the role.
Sharp was appointed to the leadership position in late March after ADMA’s CEO Jodie Sangster departed.

Far out! If he bought a bottle of milk on his first day, it wouldn’t have even had enough time to expire.
Hopefully he still got a farewell gift and thank you card.
Competent guidance is my favourite type of guidance
Hmmm,
Wonder who did the “executive search” for this role – they will be feeling happy and popular (not!). Surely some sort of record at two weeks!
Looks like Ben is out of a job!

Love Sharpy, but this always did seem like a weird fit, I can imagine that maybe ADMA thought that they needed to be more ‘commercial’ and saw Sharpy as a way to drive more interactions with the big Ad-Tech companies and agencies.
I imagine that once he looked under the hood, he worked out that it wasn’t the job for him. Does seem weird that you take a fairly senior job without doing the DD on it.
Best of luck, I’m sure there is an Ad-Tech/Fin-tech vendor who will snap him up.
