OMD Australia has promoted Amanda Watts to MD of Sydney.
Watts, with a 15-year OMD tenure beginning in Singapore, has spent the past seven years in leadership roles with OMD Sydney.
She was promoted from head of Telstra to GM of Sydney in 2021 and joined the agency’s national executive team.
OMD Australia co-CEO Laura Nice said promoting Watts was one of the easiest decisions Sian Whitnall and her have made and recognises Watts' significant and ongoing contribution.
"She has made such an impact on our people and partners alike with her best-in-class operational prowess," she said.
"In addition to her leadership and proven business growth delivery for many of our longstanding client partners including Telstra and Apple, Amanda has also driven our renewed OMD Academy growth and development program nationally for our people. She brings boundless energy to our agency and everything she does which inspires everyone around her."
Watts said having grown alongside the company for many years, she is excited for the opportunity to lead the team into the future.
"Our OMDers are our greatest asset and together we will continue to drive innovation and creativity for our business, people and partners," she said.
