Matt Farrugia resigns as Y&R Melbourne’s managing director
WPP-owned creative agency Y&R’s Melbourne managing director Matt Farrugia has resigned, Mumbrella can reveal.
Mumbrella understands Farrugia resigned two months ago and his departure isn’t related to the recent merger of Y&R and digital agency VML to form VMLY&R.

Best of luck Matty. You’ll kill it in what you do next. Big things ahead I’m sure.
Matt, you’ve been a pleasure to work with. You’re one of the few that can truly go end to end from brand through to experience and data.
All the best in whatever’s next.
What a legend! All the best Matt!
Good luck fella.
Your’e a class act.
Good luck Matt. Another good one departs Y&R. Who the hell is left?
Good work mate, impressive strategy and skill in all things digital. Best of luck with the next big.
All the best fella
A pure gentleman of the business, all the best Matt.
Well done on a great innings. Sarti soon….
Nice touch from Y&R. He leaves after nearly a decade of committed service and the only response from management is “no comment”. Really?
A genuinely great and smart guy. Good luck with the next big thing Matt.
I’m sure big things are around the corner for you Matt.
Been great working with you over the years. Class act that is for sure
Brilliant operator. And really nice chap excellent to work with.
Was good working with you, Matt. Wishing you all the very best with the next chapter.
It’s time, let’s crack some at Sarti good sir. I’ll bring the crew. Loved working with you.
That’s huge. Who’s left with a soul at Wpp.
Meanwhile in NZ the MD has resigned as well. No comment from Y&R. Clients not happy.
13 years and nothing to say? That shows the level of maturity at Y&R / WPP aunz.
Piss poor.
