McCann appoints Ashley Farr as CEO, agency now one year into plan to ‘be famous again’

New McCann CEO Ashley Farr

McCann has rejigged its senior management line-up, appointing Ashley Farr as chief executive of McCann Australia.

The move means agency chairman and CEO Ben Lilley will have more time to develop McCann’s group brands, which include McCann Health, MRM and Smart, the agency with which Lilley made a reverse take over of McCann in September last year.

Farr, who was also part of the Smart take over team, rises from MD of McCann Sydney to national CEO.
