AKQA media today announced the appointment of Shalyce McLean as national investment director.
McLean will lead Ikon’s investment team and collaborate with partners across all platforms to drive a future focused vision for clients.
Her appointment follows WPP AUNZ’s announcement combining Ikon and AKQA Media to create a new media company.
McLean first joined Ikon in 2012 and has worked in a range of roles at the agency. Most recently, she was head of product investment and has played a key part in the running of Brisbane’s largest agency.
McLean will report to AKQA Media CEO, Lesley Edwards, replacing Pia Coyle, who is leaving to take a role with a local independent agency.
“We’re thrilled to announce Shalyce’s promotion,” says AKQA Media CEO Lesley Edwards. “She has proven herself as a results driven leader throughout her tenure with Ikon with an unrivalled understanding of our client’s needs and the rapidly evolving marketplace.”
McLean: “I am excited to lead the AKQA Media investment team, and look forward to continuing to achieve outstanding and ambitious outcomes for all our clients.”
