DDB Sydney is to appoint a new boss for its digital offering Tribal after the departure of Charles Rallings, who was also operations boss for the wider group.

Rallings’ role is being split, with Brendon Eastlake named as DDB Sydney’s new operational director.

DDB CEO Chris Brown said: “Charles Rallings had a dual role – he was driving the Tribal brand as well as looking after operations within the group. As the importance of technology within a broadening operational offering is increasing– we have now split this role in two.

“Brendon is driving the operational agenda and we will be announcing the new Tribal MD shortly.”
