BMF Sydney taps Manchester City head of marketing and former Fallon London head suit Chris Kay to head of account management role
BMF Sydney has hired Chris Kay, currently head of marketing at Manchester City Football Club – and before that head of account management at Fallon London, to the new role of head of account management, effective January 10.
Says BMF CEO, Jeremy Nicholas: “We spent four months scouring the world for the best person to lead BMF’s account management team. Chris was the best candidate we met on that journey. BMF has always had very strong account management. We wanted to ensure we got the very best we could to lead the group. Chris has proven during his career he has a unique mix of passion for creative work, pragmatic business understanding and a big entrepreneurial streak. Chris is a great addition to our leadership team and will improve our delivery to clients.”
Says Kay: “The opportunity to join the leadership team of Australia’s (B&T) Agency of the decade as it kicks on to the next level was too good to pass up. BMF has that perfect mix of strategic rigour, creative ambition and account management polish, that I’m looking forward to be part of.”
Kay will be working specifically on the Commonwealth Bank account.

I reckon he was pushed from City.
(money wasted on the blue shirts with ‘Rooney’ printed on the back)
Shit. Even the head suits are starting to look like creatives. Time to throw out my jeans, tshirts and hair gel and buy some pants, polo shirts and deck shoes (all the coolest kids are wearing them)
Won’t take long for the muppets at CBA to break his spirit.
do you really think he wouldn’t know about photon? what are you…12 years old?
Head of account management – now there’s role sorely missing at Mojo.
Well, City have well and truly blown winning the EPL title…so a bloody good time to move on!
