In an unexpected move, Aegis Group today said its chief executive, Robert Lewill, would exit his post at month’s end.

John Napier, who serves as chairman of the U.K.-based marketing and media company, will take on his responsibilities on an interim basis.

In a statement today, Napier said: “The strength of Aegis is the performance of its two large international businesses, Aegis Media and Synovate. They are both well managed and we expect their combined 2008 operating results to be broadly in line with the average of current market expectations.
