“We are discussing a replacement for Amanda’s role with key Tribal DDB executives both locally and globally and Amanda has also been working with us to ensure we find the best possible candidate. We are now very close to moving someone into this position,” Ziegler added.
“Amanda executed my brief to build Tribal DDB into a very strong and successful network and recruited some of the very best people in the region, indeed globally. I am pleased she will continue to lead and grow our Tribal DDB business and to ensure a smooth transition.”
