Peter Vogel promoted to MEC Asia Pacific CEO with James Hier named new Australian boss

July 10, 2015 9:23

Group M media agency MEC has today announced James Hier will step up to the role of CEO of MEC in Australia with Peter Vogel to move to a regional role as APAC CEO of MEC.

Vogel has been in the role since 2010 and has led a revival within MEC which last year won the $60m media account for Nestle from ZenithOptimedia and was also shortlisted for the 2015 media agency of the year at the Mumbrella Awards.

For most of Vogel’s rein at MEC Hier has been strategy director at the agency and has also fronted the high profile AANA marketing dividends series on Sky News Business.

The move also rules Vogel out of the running to fill the position of CEO of GroupM left vacant following the retirement of John Steedman earlier this year.
