Think HQ appoints Sydney Director

Fully integrated positive change agency, Think HQ, has announced the appointment of Sarah Wood to the role of Sydney Director. This comes as the agency eyes further national growth opportunities, following its acquisition of LOUD Communications in 2024.

Sarah will replace Sydney General Manager and former LOUD CEO Lorraine Jokovic, who is stepping down after leading the integration into Think HQ since September 2024.

In the new role, Sarah will work on expanding Think HQ's integrated capabilities in Sydney, building on clients that include CommBank, Netflix and Lipton, to deliver strategic planning, production, PR, social, technology and language services as part of the agency's national growth strategy.

Sarah joined from creative agency SLIK, where she served four years in senior management roles, rising to Managing Director.

Prior to that, she spent more than a decade at global experience agency, Imagination, in senior Business Director roles across Australia and Asia Pacific. She was responsible for growing and managing Imagination Australia's Telstra business, and led Ford's Asia Pacific and Africa accounts while establishing and managing the agency's Shanghai operations.

Think HQ's Founder and Managing Director, Jen Sharpe, said: "Sarah is an ideal fit for Think HQ's growth ambitions and values. She is a dynamic, innovative, smart, strategic and successful creative business leader, with a commitment to diversity and cross-cultural expertise built working across diverse markets.

"We're excited to have Sarah join us to lead Think HQ into the next stage of our growth out of Sydney and beyond. I want to thank Lorraine for sharing our vision and so smoothly and successfully integrating her team and clients into Think HQ over the past 10 months. Her transition work has given us a strong foundation to drive further growth through Sydney as she hands the baton to Sarah."
