WPP agency AKQA Group is losing its second long-tenured C-level executive in less than a month.
On Monday, Sam Kelly, chief marketing officer, announced his departure after 17 years with the agency in an internal note to staff, obtained by ADWEEK.
Kelly leaves weeks after AKQA founder and CEO Ajaz Ahmed announced his resignation from the agency after 30 years.
AKQA and WPP will reveal plans regarding a successor for Ahmed early next year. In the interim, remaining leadership at AKQA and Grey will lead operations at the agency, with WPP chief technology officer Stephan Pretorius overseeing the business as interim chair.
Kelly,
