ISBA Director General Phil Smith is taking on a new role as Chair of Origin - The UK Cross Media Measurement Programme. He will be stepping down from his role with ISBA and the search begins for someone to replace him.
In cricketing terms a century not out.
Everyone one in the industry is better for your leadership - your intellect, passion, genuine kindness and integrity Phil Smith - I am so lucky to have worked with you and I know I am better for it - and I know many in the industry feel the same - you take this next and important step with ISBA and the industry stronger - congrats and enjoy the next chapter
What a pleasure working with you Phil. You have made a huge difference not just to ISBA but to the whole Advertising & Media industry. Wishing you happiness & fun as you swim through the hopefully smooth waters ahead.🏊👍
You should be so proud of what you have achieved. You’ve done an absolutely brilliant job of leading ISBA. We are pleased you will still be heavily involved in Origin.
As a swimmer and inspiring leader, you set a high stroke index for whoever comes next to match.
Having been involved in ISBA for many years as an active member / chair of the digital group, Excom and now a partner I can certainly say Phil Smith leaves an impressive legacy. It will be welcome news I'm sure from the industry that he'll continue to be involved in leading Origin.
It won't be the same without you at the wheel on the good ship ISBA. Wishing you all the best.
Congrats on your wonderful decisive leadership of ISBA and all the best at Origin. Always been an absolute pleasure working with you .
Thank you, everyone, for the comments and congratulations. Humbled
