Jessica Torstensson joins Wavemaker as group business director
Group M’s Wavemaker has hired Jessica Torstensson to the newly created role of group business director for the Hungry Jack’s account.
Torstensson joins from OMD where she was the client lead on the McDonalds account for just over a year.
Before joining OMD, Torstensson spent two and a half years at PhD in Sweden.
In her new role at Wavemaker, Torstensson joins the management team and will lead a group of eight while overseeing the agency’s Hungry Jacks account.
“The opportunity to work on a bold and dynamic brand such as Hungry Jack’s was a huge part of the attraction of Wavemaker for me, as was the fact that it’s an exciting time in the life of the agency with the merging of two businesses and the creation of a brand new energised entity.
“The team here is passionate and focused on accelerating growth for our clients’ business and I’m delighted to be part of that,” Torstensson said in a statement.
In November last year, Group M merged Maxus and MEC to form one agency, Wavemaker.
Peter Vogel, CEO at Wavemaker Australia, added: “With 15 years’ experience across agencies and advertisers, Jessica brings great insight and understanding of clients’ business needs, as well as an enthusiastic and pro-active approach to business.”
