Y&R Brisbane appoints former Mark managing director Glynn Honey to managing partner role

Experienced digital and media leader, Glynn Honey has joined Y&R Brisbane as managing partner, working alongside current GM, Fiona Caird.

Honey was previously MD of Mark, M&C Saatchi’s digital agency and was most recently with Maxus Media in Asia, advancing the digital and strategic offering of its Malaysian office, as MD.

Says Phil McDonald’s, CEO, Y&R ANZ: “Glynn has an impressive blend of skills. He has extensive experience in customer engagement, data analytics, and media and brand strategy. Exactly what our clients require more of in today’s landscape.”

Honey has led digital and media strategy for clients as diverse as Google, Optus, Commonwealth Bank, Red Bull, HSBC and Heineken to name a few.

Says Honey on his new role: “The vision, creativity, quality of thinking and authenticity of the people made the decision to join a no brainer. I can’t wait to start work with the team and hopefully add an extra element that both adds value for our clients, and keeps Y&R in its position at the top of the pile.”

Says McDonald: “With Glynn joining Fiona and ECDs, Andrew Thompson and Brendan Greaney, we have a formidable leadership team that will continue to deliver the best thinking in the market to our clients.”

Y&R is currently the most awarded agency in Brisbane, winning 9 Cannes Lions in the last 3 years, including a Gold Media Lion at last year’s festival.
