Ogilvy PR Melbourne bolsters management team, promotes Tammy Walker and Kelly Ward

Ogilvy Public Relations Melbourne has boosted its senior management with two promotions; Kelly Ward (pictured right) to director and Tammy Walker to general manager. Both will report to managing director Lelde McCoy.

The news comes less than a month after the agency made a triple hire to bolster its account management team, with staff numbers now up to 11.

“Over the last 12 months we have continued to grow our reputation and footprint in the Victorian market. We have ambitious plans for the Melbourne market and expect to double our consultants to 20 next year,” said McCoy.

The agency will continue to focus on growing its social marketing, consumer and brand, business-to-business and health portfolios, McCoy added.

Walker joined Ogilvy PR in July 2009 and has worked across client accounts including Ford, McCain, Jetstar and Mattel. She brings to the role 13 years experience in marketing and PR roles at the likes of Hewlett-Packard, Sensis, STA Travel and Foster’s Group.

Ward,  who was formerly at Porter Novelli for a ten-year spell where she was director, set up the national social marketing practice at Ogilvy while working across client accounts such as the Australian Government’s Measure Up campaign, National Asthma Council Australia and the Chiropractors’ Association Australia.
