OMD Australia announced OMD Exec Next, an internal program consisting of up-and-coming talent who will serve as an extension to the national executive team.
The program is made up of a highly selective group of national OMDers who demonstrate outstanding leadership qualities and have been identified as potential future agency leaders.
The seven members will act as a collective for the next 12-months.
Laura Nice, co-CEO of OMD Australia, said: “We were overwhelmed by how many OMDers took the opportunity to put themselves forward for the OMD Exec Next program.
“This demonstrates the calibre of talented and passionate people that we have at OMD who are eager to contribute to the future of our agency. In line with our Performance with Integrity positioning, we are excited that this program will provide the opportunity to develop business strategies for our people, by our people.”
Matt Evans, account director at OMD Brisbane and an inaugural Exec Nexter, said: “It’s empowering to be able to work with the senior leaders in the business to help ensure we’re futureproofing the agency as we emerge from a post-Covid world.
“As a Brisbane representative in the full national group, it’s great to have a truly borderless agency approach with all offices represented.”
