Scott Whybin resigns from Whybin\TBWA: ‘The last thing I want to be doing is just ads’

Scott WhybinScott Whybin, the chairman, regional creative director and founder of Whybin\TBWA Sydney, Melbourne and Auckland has resigned with plans to launch a new agency.

Scott Whybin told Mumbrella he was getting restless to stretch his talents in new directions after 21 years running TBWA in Australia.

“I made the decision last December and the world wide CEO came out to try and talk me out of it. After 21 years I figured I had a dozen good years left in me.

“There are a lot of things I want to do and you can’t do that in the traditional agency structure. There is a restlessness in me and the landscape has changed so much. The last thing I want to be doing is just ads. I’m very proud of what I’ve created with Whybin\TBWA in Australia.”
