M&C Saatchi Group has announced that Justin Graham, CEO of M&C Saatchi Group Australia, is expanding his role to the global head of advertising network.
This is part of the Moving Forward transformation program to be presented at the Capital Markets Day, today 8th February 2023.
Graham is charged with defining and leading a unified global advertising proposition for M&C Saatchi, as well as building core capabilities within key regional hubs and helping drive the global client base.
Graham will work closely with Moray MacLennan, CEO M&C Saatchi PLC and chief growth officer of M&C Saatchi Group, Wendy Dixon.
Over the past 18 months, there has been significant organisational change and investment in technology to drive collaboration and connection for clients. This is the next step in the journey for the advertising network.
Graham joined the company in 2014 from Droga5 with previous global roles at BBDO.
Since then, he has gone on to lead the Australia and New Zealand business and has a track record for growth, building new capabilities and client driven operations. He will continue to lead the Australia and New Zealand Group business in his role as Group CEO.
MacLennan said: "Our goal is to create a frictionless global advertising network. Agile. Seamless. Borderless.
"Justin has been at the forefront of creating not only Australia’s leading creative agency, but one of the leading agencies in the world. His focus will now be on delivering on our ambition."
Graham said: "Leading a world-famous creative brand into its next exciting chapter of growth is an incredible opportunity.
"It’s never been a more interesting time to look at the role that technology, storytelling, and creativity can play in driving meaningful change for brands and society."
This comes after recently announced the promotion of Sharon Edmondston from the role of creative director to croup creative director Sydney.
