Doug Chapman to head Amnesia Razorfish

Amnesia Razorfish Australia today announced that, effective immediately, managing director Doug Chapman will head the agency following a restructure.

Chapman has extensive client service experience and a passion for Internet marketing, with more than 21 years of industry insight, and joined Amnesia Razorfish in 2010 as Client Services Director.

CEO Michael Buckley is leaving the agency to pursue other interests, and the CEO position will no longer exist.

Razorfish Regional CEO Vincent Digonnet said: “Doug is an outstanding leader who has demonstrated strong operation management skills in the past two years, earning respect from both clients and staff. We are very proud to have him run our Australian agency and I know he will maintain the spirit and the culture Michael has nurtured and developed”.

Vivaki Chair for Australia and New Zealand, Kevin Malloy added: “Amnesia Razorfish is a first-class operation and compliments our media agencies Starcom and ZenithOptimedia in our Vivaki portfolio. We are sad to see Michael go – he has done a fantastic job for us in growing the business and we wish him the very best”.

Michael Buckley concluded: “I have had a great seven years at Amnesia Razorfish, with brilliant staff and amazing clients to follow. It has been an honour to work with them all and I wish them the best”.
