Toby Talbot departs Assignment

Assignment Group chief executive Peter Biggs has confirmed the departure of managing partner Toby Talbot after only around nine months at the agency. 

Talbot returned to New Zealand last year, leaving DDB Sydney to join Assignment after two years in Australia. 

Before heading across the ditch, Talbot served as the chief creative officer at TBWA (then WhybinTBWA).  

Asked for further information regarding the departure of Talbot, Biggs refused to comment further on the issue.
