OMD Sydney promotes general manager Aimee Buchanan to the role of joint managing director

OMD Sydney has announced the promotion of Aimee Buchanan, former general manager OMD Sydney, to the position of managing director leading the OMD Sydney office together with Mark Jarrett.

Buchanan was promoted to the position of Sydney general manager and joined the national executive team in January 2013 following her transformative work and leadership across the global Tourism Australia and Telstra business; two of OMD’s largest and most complex accounts.

Buchanan’s latest appointment to managing director is testament to the scaling traction and momentum achieved across the OMD operation, and her activity across the industry including advocacy for developing professional women in media.

Says Peter Horgan, CEO OMD Australia: “Aimee is an impact player who makes a material difference to the business and the broader industry.

“OMD Sydney is now the largest media agency in Australia by some margin. The executive leadership provided by Mark and Aimee allows us to sustain our focus on streamlining our processes and productivity while continuing to push the boundaries of product development.”

Says Buchanan: “It is great to be able to continue to build our client relationships cementing OMD’s position as a leading agency within the industry. I look forward to progressing the work we have done around transforming our service offering and developing new product propositions to drive business results for our clients.”

Buchanan’s promotion to managing director OMD Sydney is effective immediately.
