Ogilvy refuses to comment on firing of Tham Khai Meng, its worldwide chief creative officer
Ogilvy has refused to comment on the firing of Singaporean Tham Khai Meng, its longtime worldwide chief creative officer, beyond an internal memo issued to staff by the chief executive officer John Seifert.
The CCO had been in the role for nine years and is also an advisor to Facebook and Twitter. He was let go from the Ogilvy New York office over complaints about his behaviour, following an internal investigation at the agency.
Very skilfully written memo from CEO Seifert.
PR professionals should cut and file as an example of expert C-suite writing, should they be asked down the track to provide copy for their clients or employing organisations, in a similar scenario.
