Channel 4 chief executive Alex Mahon (above) is leaving the broadcaster this summer after eight years leading the organisation. Chief operating officer Jonathan Allan will serve as interim chief executive while the board undertakes a recruitment process.

Interpublic Group and WPP have both reported organic revenue declines in the first three months of 2025. The former experienced a 3.6% year-on-year decrease, while the latter had a 2.7% decline. WPP chief executive Mark Read spoke to ±±¾©Èü³µpk10’s media editor Beau Jackson about rebuilding in-office culture and not 'surrendering’ AKQA.

±±¾©Èü³µpk10 has launched its School Reports Tracker, a tool that allows agencies to compare their business performance against other shops going back to 2011. Agencies can delve into key metrics, such as staffing levels, billings and number of accounts won across multiple years – while also searching for each company's key personnel from the latest set of reports .
