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.
