The campaign to 'Save Dave' Kiely is over. Mission accomplished.

The Macquarie client investment manager was sent home from work last week, after being seen live on TV opening semi-nude pics of Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr.

But our campaign to make sure Dave retained his job was ultimately successful, as Macquarie has now confirmed Dave won't be fired over the incident. 

And the good news about this 'scandal' is that everyone appears to have come out winners. Let's look at the final tally sheet:

David Kiely got to keep his job

Macquarie Bank got loads of free publicity, and came out as 'good guys' in the end

Hits to model Miranda Kerr's website apparently increased over 100-fold last week

GQ magazine's pictures were seen all around the world

Here Is The City's readership hit new highs

And the banking community showed that its members are human after all by rallying around to help save one of its own.

A big 'thank you' to everyone who took place in the campaign.
