Omnicom Media Group has promoted Peter Horgan to CEO ANZ replacing Leigh Terry, who has moved to rival media network IPG Mediabrands as CEO for the APAC region.

Horgan was most recently CEO of OMD Australia and will report to Cheuk Chiang, CEO of Omnicom Media Group Asia Pacific.

His promotion will see him take charge of all of Omnicom Media Group’s assets in Australia and New Zealand and across all brands including OMD, PHD, M2M, Foundation, Dynamo, Resolution, Accuen, Annalect and Airwave.

“The ANZ region is a stellar success story with both OMD and PHD performing phenomenally well in terms of reputation, scale and business growth. Leigh has played a key role in that success, driving the growth and stability of our agencies in the region. We are thankful for his leadership and contribution,” says Chiang.

“Peter has done an exceptional job in elevating OMD in Australia taking it to the number one position. OMD Australia has recently delivered fantastic results with strong growth. The talent, offering, work and innovative culture are second to none and Peter, together with strong leadership from both Australia and New Zealand will continue to drive our high performance in the region.”

“Having led OMD for the last 5 years, I am looking forward to supporting the OMG businesses across ANZ to drive even greater success. We have built a diverse suite of capability in this region, and I feel we are uniquely placed to embrace the future landscape,” says Horgan.
