MindShare loses Razvi to CNN

MindShare has been delivered another blow with the departure of its third senior manager in the space of four months.

Deputy managing director, Kevin Razvi, has quit the agency to take up the post of commercial director at CNN International.

The news comes in the same week that the agency lost £16 million worth of Thomson Holidays’ business to Mediapolis.

Meanwhile, MindShare announced a number of new dotcom wins, adding an estimated £9 million to the agency’s billings. These include a £3 million media brief for betting website Blue Square, and undisclosed briefs for Silicon Valley, which runs ethnic website, Asiafree. net, and TravelSelect.

In December MindShare lost both Adam Crow, press buying director and Jane Ostler, managing partner of MindShare Digital.
