Castree joins Patts Y&R exodus

By AdNews | 21 October 2005

SYDNEY: Tim Castree is the latest senior George Patterson figure to leave the merged agency of George Patterson Y&R, with an announcement due later today.

Castree was Sydney managing director of Patts at the time of WPP’s takeover of The Communications Group in August. His departure follows that of TCG heavyweights Ian Smith, John Fawcett, Mark Bayliss and Jane Neale, and the more recent exit of creatives Mark Dove and Andy Flemming.

It is estimated that up to 30 Patts staff have left the agency since the merger.
