Priest named as next IPA president
Priest was picked by the IPA Council to succeed Nicola Mendelsohn, chairman of Karmarama, whose two-year term ends in March.
Immediate-past president Rory Sutherland, vice-chairman of Ogilvy Group, led the selection process. He said of Priest: “Ian has many strengths to commend him. He has experience of a wide range of agency disciplines as well as huge entrepreneurial spirit. I’ve no doubt he will be a fantastic leader for the IPA and the industry.”
Priest co-founded ad agency VCCP in 2002. It became part of Chime in 2005, where Priest now heads new ventures and international expansion plans.
