Weare8 shuts down Australian office

Weare8, the social network that pays users to watch ads, has laid off its Australian team.

The move follows the departure of APAC CEO Lizzie Young last year. Mumbrella understands the closure will see at least five roles gone, including CMO Luke Robinson, who was previously director of trade marketing at Nine, and Australia MD Danika Johnston.

All marketing for the network will now come out of Weare8’s main office in London.
