Kieran Moore is leaving WPP AUNZ after 17 years with the company.
She is currently the CEO, PR, GR, experiential and design, and led internal communciations during the move to working from home during the coronavirus crisis.
“I have spent more than one-third of my life in this group," she says.
"The time is now right to seek new challenges and opportunities and I am excited about the journey that lies ahead. It’s a leap I am really looking forward to.”
WPP AUNZ’s COO John Steedman: “Kieran is well known and highly respected both internally and externally and is a friend to many. I have personally known and worked with Kieran for a long period of time and will truly miss her. We thank Kieran for the extraordinary effort, energy and commitment over the years with the company and wish her every success in the future.”
Moore departs mid-July.
She began with the company in 2003 when she joined Howorth after an extensive and successful career in London.
She soon rose to become Howorth’s managing director and, after many years of driving strong growth, became CEO of then Ogilvy Public Relations.
In this role Moore managed all PR brands within the business including Howorth, Pulse, Ogilvy PR Health, Ogilvy Impact, Cannings, and Parker& Partners.
Over that time, it grew to be the largest PR company in Australia. During her time at Ogilvy PR, she was also regional talent director and was awarded The Global Giant Award from Ogilvy for her leadership.
Four years ago, she was asked to manage the cluster of PR and GR companies as a result of the STW/WPP merger. For the past two years, she was also the Sponsor for 1 Kent Street, and during the past year has added to her responsibilities by taking on the group communications and marketing role.
