Omnicom Oceania has appointed Kim Hamilton and Paige Prettyman to its Executive Leadership Team.
Kim Hamilton has been promoted to Chief Marketing and Communications Officer, expanding her remit from Chief Marketing Officer. She steps up after establishing Omnicom Media Australia’s first centralised marketing and growth function. Kim will lead enterprise brand, profile and communications across Omnicom Oceania, driving market positioning and strategic partnerships.
Paige Prettyman has been appointed Chief of Staff, Omnicom Oceania, a newly created role supporting executive alignment and delivery across the business. She joins from Deloitte Digital, where she was Managing Director. She previously held senior leadership roles at Special Group Melbourne and Clemenger BBDO.
Nick Garrett, CEO of Omnicom Oceania, said: "We talk a lot about helping our clients navigate transformation and elevating the role of marketing at an executive level. What’s important is that we’re doing the same ourselves.
"These appointments are about putting that into practice, building a business that is more connected, more focused on the customer, and set up to deliver real commercial impact."
Kim added: "I’m genuinely energised by the vision and transformation that Nick, KK and the broader team are building together at Omnicom Oceania. We are building something genuinely different, more connected, more capable and better set up to help our clients navigate increasing complexity. Now it’s about bringing that to life in market and for our people - simple, clear and with impact."
Paige commented: "What’s really compelling about Omnicom Oceania is the opportunity to bring together creativity, media and advisory in a genuinely connected way and the impact that can have for clients.
"My time in leadership positions across both advertising agencies and consultancies has shown me how powerful that can be when it’s done well. I’m looking forward to working closely with Nick and the leadership team to ensure that translates into clear priorities, strong alignment and consistent delivery across the business."
