New joint MD at MediaShop
John Barham, current joint MD at The MediaShop, is stepping down from the board to return to his true passion at company - media and mentoring. The new appointment became effective on 1 January 2010. Chris Botha, current media director, has replaced him.
John Barham and Chris Botha, who reckons The MediaShop is the best media agency in South Africa, “and the challenge is for us to stay there”.
Barham launched The MediaShop 21 years ago alongside Dick Reid and Sean Clarke. "It's time for new blood to come in and continue agency's forefront position in the industry. I have mentored Chris from the beginning and saw the potential in him from day one. I wish him all the best in his new role," says Barham.
"I am over the moon! I have worked for the agency for ten years and it means the world to me that the board has shown its faith in me. At the same time, I feel hugely challenged, as there is a lot I want to do and accomplish," says Botha.
"I look forward to watching Chris suffer in his new role! Lucky for us Virginia Hollis is there to share the load. Joburg will fly, as they both live our 'Open 24 hours - no problem!' philosophy," says Harry Herber, group MD.
