Host/Havas has promoted Alyce Gillis to head of strategy, where she will lead the large and growing department of strategists across creative, brand, social, CX, and data.
Gillis has been with Host/Havas for four years and prior to that she led strategy at One Green Bean (part of Havas Creative Group). As part of her promotion, she now joins the Host/Havas leadership team.
Gillis' promotion comes off the back of Host/Havas’ significant growth with recent new business wins including Toursim Fiji, several new CX projects, and HelloFresh. The move further cements Host/Havas as a strategic and creative powerhouse under one of the most experienced and respected strategists in the country, chief strategy officer Olly Taylor, also head of Havas Labs (the research division of the Havas Australia Creative Group).
In its first full year of operation Havas Labs has been shortlisted for research agency of the year and recently launched a significant study into evolving Australian Values that has received extensive national media coverage.
Olly Taylor said: “We’re thrilled about Alyce’s promotion to lead strategy at Host/Havas – there’s no better way to promote than to promote on true merit from within. Over the last six years Alyce has proved herself to be a world class strategist across the board and she is highly respected internally and by clients. This promotion is recognition of Alyce’s talent and performance."
