Michelle Lomas to lead Emotive's new partnerships arm

Michelle Lomas has joined independent creative agency, Emotive, in the newly created role of Head of Partnerships, where she will lead the agency's specialist partnerships division.

Emotive stated that its new partnerships offering will work hand-in-hand with its strategy, creative and earned teams to maximise emotional impact, whilst protecting its integrity.

With nearly 20 years of cross-industry experience spanning strategy and creativity, Michelle has held leadership roles including Head of Brand Partnerships at Ensemble Australia and MediaCom, VP, Head of Content & Social at Hearst's iCrossing New York, and most recently, Chief Strategy Officer at audio creative studio, Ampel.

Michelle will work closely with the leads of Emotive's other specialisms, spanning social, talent, PR, and brand experience. She will report to Sebastian Revell, Emotive's Executive Strategy Partner, who recently joined the agency after nearly six years at TBWA and TBWA\Media Arts Lab.

Michelle said: "I've always believed in the power of partnerships to connect brands with people through an audience-first lens. Emotive's purpose, to create ideas that change how people feel, is something I've long admired.

"With the right approach, partnerships don't just support the work, they help it travel further and hit harder. I can't wait to get started."

Industry update

TEAM LEWIS introduces integrated AI platform

TEAM LEWIS has launched version one of its AI operating system, Orbital (OS1), as part of its global offering. The platform is designed to connect insight, creativity, messaging and public-facing delivery.

Orbital combines data from across public relations, customer relationship management, paid media and web activity. It is structured around three pillars:

Intelligence
Orbital works with each organisation’s own data and context to identify the signals influencing reputation, demand and AI visibility.

Creativity
The platform helps teams turn insight into creative work, while preserving marketing judgement and originality.

Delivery
Orbital supports the people representing an organisation, spanning media interviews, keynote presentations and leadership moments.

Fairil Yeo, EVP of AI & Growth at TEAM LEWIS, said: “The advantage increasingly lies with organisations that can act quickly on what they already know. Orbital is designed to shorten the distance between insight and action - helping marketing and communications teams work more effectively across markets, channels and teams.”

Chief Operating Officer at TEAM LEWIS, Yvonne van Bokhoven, added: “Technology can connect information, but it cannot replace judgement. Orbital gives our specialists a clearer view of what matters, more quickly. The decisions - and the responsibility for making them well - remain human.”
