Amanda Watts promoted to GM of OMD Sydney

Head of Tesltra at OMD, Amanda Watts has been promoted to general manager of the agency’s Sydney office, in a newly created role effective 1 November.

The agency said the move is consistent with OMD’s policy of senior executive impact across all clients, its commitment to a sustainable leadership structure continuing to provide “the right level of coverage and leadership for its clients and people”, and is a function of growth of the agency’s largest Australian office.

Joint Sydney managing director, Kim Hamilton, said: “Adding a general manager to OMD Sydney’s bench strength enables the breadth of leadership required to ensure all clients continue to be serviced to the highest standards, by having executive leadership working within their businesses, not just across them. The new role is testament to the phenomenal success and growth that we have experienced recently, and Amanda is absolutely the right person for the job.”
