Ben Shepherd departs PwC’s CMO advisory group
Ben Shepherd, director of PwC’s CMO Advisory, has left the consulting firm, Mumbrella can reveal.

Shepherd joined PwC in 2017 after three years with OMD
Ben is one of the best media thinkers to read of late. All the best in whatever’s next.
Several much-touted consultancy hires over the last couple of years are starting to jump. Could this be the start of an exodus finding that the daily grind and billable time sheet pressure of the consultancy model isn’t working?
Plenty of news around about consultancies changing staff or losing them lately. Accenture Interactive also let go a number of senior staff recently. LinkedIn profiles are yet to be updated in most instances. It’s a small industry and news (usually) travels fast….
One of the better writers of opinion pieces lately, usually very insightful stuff. What’s the chances he’s moving to Thinkerbell?
My bets are on that as well!
Hhmmm,
Hi Anonymous – wise and correct words. Its all starting to fall apart!
PwC have had a lot of people leave there CMO business it would be great to know why. We haven’t heard much about what they are doing.

Ben is a clever guy, I can only imagine it’s a bigger and even better opportunity 5:1 Thinkerbell 15:1 KPMG 20:1 Deloitte
Feels like the message here is do not voice your opinions as it can be seen as disruptive
