McCann ECD Michael Raso leaves for CD role at Ogilvy

McCann Sydney’s ECD Michael Raso has left the agency to join Ogilvy as group creative director and head of art.

Raso joined McCann from the New York office in January, and restructured the creative department three months later.

However, after the merger of McCann and Smart in September, Smart’s John Mescall took control of the combined agency’s creative offering.

Raso will report to Ogilvy Sydney’s ECD Brett Howlett, who joined the agency in August as a replacement for Chris Ford.
