John Clancy, the managing director of the Publicis-owned ZenithOptimedia is jumping ship to join rival media agency Carat.
Clancy is one of the industry’s most experienced media professionals, having spent the last 13 years working at various agencies, including MediaVest, Mindshare, OMD and Irish International. In May 2012 he was appointed as managing director of ZenithOptimedia, replacing Shay Keany who had retired from the business.
ZenithOptimedia has yet to appoint Clancy’s replacement but it is understood that recruitment process is underway.
