Stephen Newton has been appointed as Google’s new Country Manager.
I know we’re all thinking ‘damn, this can only be better than last time’… but the sad truth is that the former Country Manager didn’t act alone or without the knowledge & consent from Google HQ.
Many agencies suffered from the unscrupulous business practices of Mr. Newton’s predecessor, but Google SA cannot (and will not) say ’sorry, we screwed up – we should never have gone after customers behind our agencies backs’. The truth is they’re not sorry, they’ll do it all again, only this time they’ll do it more wisely & try not to get caught!
