Paul Shale bombshell

AUCKLAND, Today: FCB NZ ceo Paul Shale has left the agency suddenly – with no local announcement to fill the void.

The only comment from the FCB machine was this – from New York-based worldwide ceo Carter Murray: “I want to thank Paul for his partnership and all that he’s done in the last three years to help fuel the success of our New Zealand office.

“Paul left to pursue other opportunities, and our search for a replacement has begun,” Murray said.

M+AD’s emails to Paul Shale and FCB NZ (which still lists him as NZ ceo) have gone unanswered. Watch this space.
