Ben McCallum.
IPG media agency UM has made the role of managing director Sydney redundant, seeing Ben McCallum leaving the agency effective April 17.
UM confirmed the exit with AdNews citing "the changing needs of business and position the agency for growth".
McCallum has lead the Sydney office since his appointment in early-2021. Prior to that he held senior leadership roles at Mediacom for nearly five years, most recently as MD.
UM Australia CEO Anathea Ruys said McCallum was a respected member of UM’s team who has always provided valuable counsel to his clients and commitment to the business during his tenure.
She thanked Ben for his energy, passion and contribution to the role and wished him all the very best for his future.
