Levi Slavin, the chief commercial officer at Howatson+Company, is leaving after one year to join his family's start up.
He took to LinkedIn to break the news, saying:
"After 20+ years of working in advertising, I’ve decided to leave the agency world.
"I’ve worked with incredible people, made lifelong friends, and lots of ads. Over the last few years, I was fortunate enough to bounce from Colenso to Australia’s greatest start-up Howatson+Co.
"While the job was incredible, and our success inarguable, living away from family became too hard.
"So, starting this year, I’m going to be joining our family start-up Ironclad Co. full time. Please have a look at what we do. We’re very proud of what we’re making.
"To make sure I don’t go mad, I might take the odd freelance project. But only for nice people.
"Thank you for having me.
"Levi."
Chris Howatson, founder and chief executive officer at Howatson+Company, said: "I’m so excited for you Levi.
"Thank you for everything you did with us. It was an incredible year together.
"A lasting memory, nothing to do with work, 'Teflon is a forever particle'. Terrifying!
"Take iron clad to the world. We’ll be cheering you on!"
