L-R Rhys Ryan, Arj Ganeshalingam, Patrick McClelland
The three former leaders of Porter Novelli Australia have launched their new communications agency, MGR&Co, just two months after the Omnicom-owned PR firm closed its local operations.
Former CEO Rhys Ryan, COO Arj Ganeshalingam, and managing partner Patrick McClelland have reunited to launch the communications advisory firm, starting with a dozen clients and actively recruiting to build a team across Melbourne and Sydney.
Speaking to Mumbrella about launching a new venture after departing Omnicom, Ganeshalingam said he hoped it would hearken back to the early days of Porter Novelli under Clemenger Group’s ownership.
