Harold Mitchell has joined the global board of media giant Aegis just weeks after completing the sale of Mitchell Communications Group to the London-based media giant.

Aegis announced last night that Mitchell – who now runs the merged Mitchells-Aegis operation in the region – has joined as an executive board member with immediate effect.

The sale saw Mitchell become one of Aegis’ biggest shareholders, so his formally joining the board is not a major surprise.

Mitchell said: “I look forward to being part of the Aegis Group Board. The markets in Australia and New Zealand will form an important part of Aegis’s wider drive for growth in the Asia Pacific region, as we seek to take Aegis from strength to strength.”
