According to a statement, Shabaz will be taking time off to focus on other personal interests.

Shabaz started at JWT as associate creative director and was promoted to ECD in March 2008. He joined from BBDO Singapore in 2005.

A spokesperson noted that a replacement for Shabaz is currently being finalised and would be announced in due course.
