Ryan Woor, co-founder and chief operating officer of M&C Saatchi Talk, is departing from the agency after an 18-year tenure.In a LinkedIn post, Woor announced his resignation from both the agency and his role as president of SERMO, M&C Saatchi Talk’s global network of independent communications agencies, which he co-founded.Reflecting on his time at the agency, Woor stated, “It’s been quite a journey, filled with unforgettable experiences, immense opportunities to grow, the privilege to work with some of the most talented individuals in the industry, and most of all, a lot of fun.”Woor joined the agency in 2008 when it was known as Talk.Global. He has led the business since CEO Jane Boardman’s departure earlier this year, following her decision to leave agency life after more than two decades. Woor and Boardman were instrumental in the 2020 merger of M&C Saatchi PR and Talk.Global, forming M&C Saatchi Talk.Expressing pride in his collaboration with Boardman, Woor said, “I am incredibly proud of the agency we built together and everything we achieved. But it now feels like we have reached the end of an era, and the time is right for the agency to move into the next chapter under new leadership.”Woor, who has held business and finance roles at Ogilvy, co-founded M&C Saatchi Proud, the group’s LGBTQIA+ network. He has also worked with global beauty brands, including Coty, and is a member of the executive board of the British Beauty Council.In related news, M&C Saatchi Sport & Entertainment, another PR agency within the M&C Saatchi group, recently saw the resignation of its long-time leadership team. Global CEO Steve Martin and UK CEO Jamie Wynne-Morgan, both of whom served over 20 years, have announced their departures, hinting at a “new venture coming soon.”These leadership changes coincide with M&C Saatchi restructuring its UK operations and repositioning M&C Saatchi Sport & Entertainment as its new "passion marketing" agency, with expectations that M&C Saatchi Talk will also integrate into this new division.
