Mediabrands agency Initiative made some tough choices in 2020, including letting go of APAC president Will Anstee in a cost-cutting move and slowing the pace of pitch participation. None of this was easy for an agency that had high hopes coming into the year. The leadership team believes the approach was not only appropriate but also advantageous for its long-term development.
