Ali Shabaz departs The Brand Agency in Perth after 6 months in the ECD role

Ali Shabaz, who relocated from Singapore to Western Australia to take up the ECD role at The Brand Agency in May last year, has departed the agency for personal reasons. Prior to joining The Brand Agency in Perth, Shabaz led creative teams across Southeast Asia as Chief Creative Officer at Publicis Groupe, M&C Saatchi and Grey Group Singapore.

Nick Bayes, The Brand Agency, Managing Director, said: “We thank Ali for all his efforts whilst with us and wish him every success in the future.”

The agency’s 20-strong creative and design team will continue to be led by Creative Director Steve Straw and Head of Design Dan Agostino.

Bayes told Campaign Brief the agency would be looking at its structure and client requirements before making any decision on a replacement for Shabaz.
