OMD Melbourne has appointed Rachel Page as managing director, AdNews can reveal.
This comes after Antonia Glezakos, who served as managing director for the last four years has been promoted within Omnicom Group to executive partner of bespoke agency model designed for Coles Group Smith St.
Glezakos will work in partnership with the Smith St. executive leadership team, including Tristan Alexander, Psembi Kinstan and Matt Pearce.
Kenny Stewart has departed OMD after over eight years spent in leadership roles across Western Australia, Queensland, and Victoria.
OMD Australia Co-CEO Sian Whitnall thanked Kenny and Antonia for their contributions.
"It’s a privilege to have Antonia remaining as an executive leader in our broader business, building on her incredible legacy of the last 16 years," Whitnall said.
“We are so fortunate to have such a talented and dynamic team in Melbourne, consistently producing market-leading work for some of Australia’s most iconic brands.
"With a passion for nurturing talent and culture, and a strong network of relationships in this market, Rachel is the perfect leader to continue building on OMD Melbourne’s success and start this new chapter alongside our Melbourne leadership team.”
In October, AdNews revealed that Page exited Seven as national digital sales director.
Page said what a fabulous opportunity to lead and create what's next with the talented team at OMD.
"I am excited to focus all my energy on my hometown of Melbourne, working with such an iconic brand and partnering with people I have respected throughout my career," Page said.
"I have big shoes to fill and much to learn, and I look forward to bringing some new ideas and an energised approach to OMD’s market leading leadership, our teams and our clients.”
Page will start with OMD Melbourne on Monday, March 31.
