CHANT RESIGNS FROM PUBLICIS SINGAPORE

Aussie expat Rodd Chant has resigned from the ECD gig at Publicis Singapore and has arrived back in Australia for the Christmas period. Says Chant: "This is something I have been thinking of ever since David Droga quit as our worldwide creative chief. The reason I joined Publicis was for the opportunity to work in an agency that had someone of the calibre of Droga at the worldwide helm, with his departure I started re-evaluating what I wanted to do and where I want to do it. I am talking to a couple of agencies in the USA and in the Asia-Pacific region but have made no solid decisions and am still open to discussing other opportunities that may arise. I am taking a well earned break, and then I am back in Singapore in a couple of weeks time."
