Katie Raleigh stepped away after seven and a half years, having risen to managing director.
“After seven and a half very big years at Poem, the time has come for me to step away and try something new.”
No successor was named at the time. Raleigh joined when the agency was ten people, went on to start its studio arm and took home Ad Campaign of the Year. The move was also carried in AdNews' Movers & Shakers column.
