Chief creative officer Steve Back, meanwhile, will take over his responsibilities.

It is understood Proctor is currently on leave and will be back to work tomorrow.

This development follows the recent news that Dan Gibson, managing director at Ogilvy & Mather, is leaving the agency. Senior creatives Elyn Wong and Jatinder Sandhu from the Unilever team have also left as part of a restructuring at Ogilvy.

COO Giri Jadhav will take on the role of managing director, as well as heading the Unilever team.

Chairwoman Fiona Gordon told Campaign Asia-Pacific that the agency will continue to focus on the clients’ business, despite the changes taking place within the agency.

Last year, Ogilvy Indonesia also saw a major change within its management with Stephen Mangham resigning his position as group technical adviser with Ogilvy & Mather (O&M) Indonesia, just over one month into his new role there.

Executive creative adviser Gary Caulfield also departed, with newly appointed president of O&M ASEAN (Southeast Asia) David Mayo relocating to Jakarta to help fill the void.
