Red Havas appoints Lynn Chinnock to new managing partner role in Melbourne
Red Havas has appointed Lynn Chinnock to the newly created role of managing partner in Melbourne.
Chinnock joins from McCann Melbourne where she spent two-and-a-half years as group account director. Prior to that, she worked at Y&R as head of account management, and as client services director at Wunderman.
In her new role, Chinnock will be responsible for leading the Melbourne office’s PR, social and brand experience teams.
In May, Red Agency underwent a global rebrand to Red Havas, bringing the Havas Group’s PR agencies around the world under one brand.
Chinnock said of her new role: “I am very passionate about creating ideas that truly connect to people’s lives, leveraging the full spectrum of communications to create impact.
“This new chapter at Red Havas will see us integrating specialist expertise in experience, PR and social more deeply than ever before alongside our colleagues in Havas Creative and Media, to meet client demand for creative solutions that solve challenges end-to-end. I’m super excited to be part of this ambitious team.”
Red Havas CEO, Sarah Trombetta, said: “As Red Havas Australia continues to grow, Lynn will bring a new dimension to our Melbourne offering and the broader national executive team’s shared vision for Red Havas as a borderless creative force for brands we partner with Australia-wide.”
