STW Group media agency Ikon Communications has restructured its management team and created a new role – national CEO – to be filled with Sydney managing partner Dan Johns.

The restructure sees the exit of Sydney agency director Brett Dawson and national strategy director Chris Christofi, who leave to start an as yet unnamed venture backed by STW Group next month.

The rejigg also sees the Sydney office return to the dual leadership team of agency founders Simon White and Gary Hardwick 12 years ago, with the promotion of Annick Perrin and Pat Crowley from agency directors to managing partners.
