The announcement:

Global Brand, Media and Communications consultancy, Millward Brown, has announced the promotion of Sam Almutair to Head of Client Services, Australia, responsible for leading both the Sydney and Melbourne teams to drive and deepen new and existing client relationships.

In this newly created position, Sam will be tasked with ensuring a passionate and consultative approach to all aspects of client engagement and business development.

I am looking forward to continuing to drive a best-in-market, flexible approach to all interaction with our clients across Australia.”

Sam will be supported by Leigh Mander, who has been promoted to the role of Client Service Director, Sydney and Conny Weyrich, promoted to the role of Client Service Director, Melbourne.
