Nick Emery, who last year suddenly left his long-time gig as Mindshare global CEO, has found a new role.
He is a partner, and first hire, of a new media division of digital marketing group You & Mr Jones, founded by David Jones, a former CEO of Havas.
Emery, who started at Mindshare in 1997, left in October 2020 after a clear “breach” of the company’s code of conduct. His “inappropriate and offensive” behaviour was not explained.
He now plans to start hiring staff and is also hunting for acquisitions.
David Jones reportedly believes the group can build a media business that is several hundred million dollars in revenue over the next five years.
You & Mr Jones in January announced it had raised $US260, valuing the company at $US1.36 billion.
