DAN continues restructure with the exit of Amplifi’s Luke Manley
Amplifi’s head of programmatic Luke Manley has departed, the latest in a series of exits as Dentsu Aegis Network (DAN) CEO Henry Tajer continues his restructure of the holding group. Mumbrella understands Manley’s role was made redundant.
Amplifi’s media and investment arms are being reintegrated into DAN media agencies Carat, Vizeum and Dentsu X, but the brand will continue to exist, cemented with the appointment of Michael Bass as chief investment officer last week, who stepped into the role following Ashley Earnshaw becoming CEO of DAN media agency Vizeum.

Manley began the role in 2017
“Our media business is undergoing a period of change. During this time, our focus remains on our people and our clients,”
Seriously ?
G’day folks, Costa here, and today I’m talking to you about pruning.
Winter is a great time to get the secateurs out. Your trees and shrubs are most likely not flowering, especially if you have a Caratarium, Dentsexus, Vizearius or worst of all Amplifillium in the garden.
It really is the right time to cut away the deadwood.
For those new to the garden, or need a refresher, the deadwood are the branches that are more or less doing nothing, costing your plant precious nutrients. And that’s on a good day, it could even be worse than that!
Like bad culture, lack of vision and very likely highly questionable [Edited under Mumbrella’s comment moderation policy] behaviour, deadwood restricts airflow around the plant, which come spring, encourages disease.
With any withering plant, a good prune along with a proper winter feed gives it the best chance for growth.
Until next time, thanks for watching.
Limited ROI for the amount of time and effort you put into this.
Tragic systematic destruction of Australia’s leading media agency for nine straight years under the leadership/ownership of legendary Harold Mitchell.
The steady decline of the business during the last six years of Aegis/Dentsu management speaks for itself.
