FIRST RODD CHANT, NOW TOM ORMES QUITS PUBLICIS SINGAPORE

Just weeks after ECD Rodd Chant left for an as yet undisclosed job in New York, Tom Ormes has resigned as Head of Copy at Publicis Singapore.
Says Ormes: "I have been with Publicis Singapore for just under a year, but feel that now is the right time to move on and find something that will challenge me creatively. I am in talks with some agencies both in Singapore and around the region, but have not made any final decisions yet."
Ormes started with McCann-Erickson, Sydney in 1995. He was transferred to McCann India in 1997 to handle Levi's for the South Asia. Transferred again to McCann Sri Lanka to handle Wall's (Streets) for that market (1999-2000). Then to Lowe Dubai to handle Unilever and Emirates Cargo (2000-2004). Followed by freelance back in Sydney and in Singapore (Ogilvy and Batey) before joining Publicis (2005) as Head of Copy.
