DDB Group Sydney will be making redundancies this week during a “complex time” for many agencies.
The agency said 15 people would be affected.
“Redundancies within creative agencies are an unfortunate cost of doing business, but they are not just a business matter; they are also a human matter,” said Sheryl Marjora, CEO, DDB Group Sydney.
“People who have done brilliant things for DDB Group, who are both talented and nice, will be affected. They will leave with the support of our EAP program, our connections to assist in finding their next role, and our commitment to be of help in any way possible.
“To minimise the stress of an already stressful time, we won’t be commenting on individual names, however we can share that it will affect 15 of our people. It is up to the people affected to decide when and how they wish to speak.
“These are moments none of us got into this business for, but when they inevitably come, we believe in handling them in the most respectful way possible, with all the care, comfort and privacy we can offer.”
DDB Sydney late last year announced the end of its 13-year partnership with Westpac, effective from February 2025.
