Chris Thomas, Head of Americas for BBDO, Is Leaving the Agency

Thomas will remain with BBDO during a transitional period in which the agency determines his successor in the position.

“Chris has decided that, after three and half great years in New York, he wants to be closer to friends and family, who are in Singapore and Australia,” an agency spokesperson explained. “Once we’ve identified a successor and had a suitable handover, he will leave BBDO and move back to Australia.”

Thomas is a BBDO veteran of over nine years and also served as chairman and CEO of BBDO Asia, Middle East and Africa, and chairman of Proximity Worldwide.
