Joining Havas Red at a time of significant growth, Streete said she is excited to build on the agency’s strong national footprint and extend its full creative capability to Queensland.

“Havas Red is doing incredible work for some of Australia’s and the world’s most inspiring brands, and I’m thrilled to be part of that momentum,” said Streete.

“Queensland is alive with opportunity and energy, and I’m looking forward to partnering with brands that want to tell their stories in fresh, brave, and meaningful ways.”

Havas Red continues to expand its client portfolio and integrated offering across Australia, powered by the strength and collaboration of the Havas Village, and buoyed by rising demand for bold, earned-first campaigns.
