June 11, 2013 1:28

James Wright, the head of the Australian operation of public relations firm Red Agency, has been named APAC managing director of the PR operations of parent company Havas.

In the two years since he joined Red Agency in April 2011, the Brit is credited with doubling the size of the agency, winning new clients including Accor, Origin Energy, Yahoo!7 and WWF.

He will continue to be based in Sydney.

Wright said in a statement: “The APAC region has a great appetite for technology, and this sits at the heart of many of our ideas. My vision for the region is to develop campaigns that are deliberately social; they don’t have to necessarily live in social media, but they are campaigns that people want to share, talk about and interact with.”
