After the 2020 leadership reorganization, R/GA announces the formation of the new team in place

In a significant shift within the digital marketing industry, a group of high-profile executives have left R/GA to found an innovation consultancy. The departing leaders include Saneel Radia, who served as the global chief innovation officer, Sanika Khandelwal, and Pranav Bhagat, all of whom left R/GA two years after Radia took over the management of the agency.

Radia's departure follows that of Global Chief Experience Officer Richard Ting, who left the agency last summer. Joining him in the exodus were half a dozen agency leaders, including Mike Rigby, the global head of brand, and Barry Wacksman, the global chief strategy officer.

Sean Lyons, who has been serving as the CEO of R/GA for approximately two years, has a leadership team in place for the agency's latest reinvention. The specifics of this reinvention remain to be seen, but it is clear that the departure of these key figures will have a significant impact on the agency's direction and future.

As the dust settles on this major change, the industry will be watching closely to see how R/GA adapts and what the new innovation consultancy will bring to the table. The departing leaders have a strong track record of driving innovation and creating successful marketing campaigns, so their new venture is sure to attract attention.

In the meantime, R/GA continues to operate, and it will be interesting to see how the agency moves forward without some of its most influential leaders. The agency has a reputation for being at the forefront of digital marketing, and it will be important for it to maintain that position in the face of these changes. Only time will tell what the future holds for both R/GA and the new innovation consultancy.
