Netolicky has been a driving force in the growth of the Queensland office as general manager, increasing full time staffing by 200% since January 2016.

As managing director, Netolicky will build on her wealth of strategic leadership experience, helping to cement McCann Queensland as an industry ground breaker.

Her passion and drive for creative invention along with her strategic management skills, will help to deliver a new era of cutting-edge work for our clients in Queensland, and we’re thrilled to have her at the helm.”

Netolicky’s promotion follows an outstanding 2016 for McCann Queensland, with Mantra Group among several notable agency wins.

Says Netolicky: “There’s a real momentum building within our team and I’m proud of the growth and wins we’ve had in the last year. As managing director, this is an exciting opportunity to lead the team into the next phase of innovative client work and agency achievement.”
