Clemenger BBDO Melbourne has hired Joanna Howes into the newly created role of operations director.
Howes
will be responsible for delivering operational excellence with a focus
on driving integration across the agency including EG+ and Flare,
building capability and helping embed project management.
Howes will be working directly into Clemenger BBDO Melbourne CEO Nick Garrett.
Says Garrett: "There are only a handful of people around the world that
could do this role, because we need someone who is as passionate about
ideas as they are about operations. The reason the role is so important
strategically is because it bridges the broadening gap between
production and delivery. We are delighted Jo decided to join us because
she is such a positive radiator and very talented."
Howes joins
from McCann London, where she held the position of operations director
and has a wealth of operations experience having worked at some of the
UK's leading integrated agencies including VCCP, Arthur and Joshua G2.
Says
Howes: "What attracted me most about the role was the ambition,
excitement and energy you could feel within the agency and I can't wait
to get stuck in."
