Havas Media has promoted its strategy lead Imogen Hewitt to group managing director.
Hewitt has been chief strategy officer at Havas Media since she joined the company three years ago, and has been jointly leading the Havas Village Australia Strategy Hub.
Hewitt's remit in her new role will be to oversee the agency's operations across the Havas Media Group portfolio. She will continue to play a key role in the Havas Village model that brings sister agencies Red Agency and Host/Havas together to create seamless integrated services to best meet the needs of clients.
Hewitt will work closely with CEO Mike Wilson to support the agency's business growth and business development while she continues to take an active role in continuing to evolve the agency’s unique offering.
“As a leader, mentor, strategy guru and a champion of industry issues, Imogen is without peer, and I am confident she will continue to help steer Havas Media to even greater successes in the future,” Wilson said.
Hewitt adds: “Over the last three-and-a-half years we have built Havas Media into a business with solid foundations, talented staff and great clients.
“A huge focus and passion of mine is driving real integration between all areas of the Havas Village to help us develop the smartest strategies and most impactful ideas for clients and partners. It's an exciting time at Havas Media and I’m looking forward to what's in store.”
Hewitt represented Australia on the Cannes Lions media jury and is the Havas Group leader in The Agency Circle, an industry body that examines the issues around diversity in our industry today.
