Shakeup starts at Ogilvy & Mather - Shelly Lazarus steps down replaced by Miles Young

July 22, 2008

Ogilvy Group said Chief Executive Officer Shelly Lazarus will step down at the end of the year, and be replaced by Miles Young, chairman of the advertising agency’s Asia Pacific Group. Some out there are stating that she was pushed out rather than stepped down. The advertising agency has seen a string of departures recently as well as layoffs and links to lobbying to increase gas prices for their oil clients and has been criticized for lack of digital and SEO ability by industry followers. Some have called for a complete shakeup of the ad agency stating that the current management is leading the company in the wrong direction, ignoring the internet.
