The moves reflect Omnicom’s focus on transformation, client impact, and building a more connected enterprise. 

Omnicom Oceania has announced two significant appointments to its Executive Leadership Team, underscoring its commitment to transformation and client delivery.  

Kim Hamilton has been promoted to Chief Marketing and Communications Officer, Omnicom Oceania, expanding her remit from Chief Marketing Officer at Omnicom Media Australia. In her new role, Hamilton will lead enterprise brand, profile and communications across the region, driving market positioning and strategic partnerships, while continuing to play a pivotal role within Omnicom Media. She previously established Omnicom Media Australia’s first centralised marketing and growth function.  

Paige Prettyman has been appointed Chief of Staff, Omnicom Oceania, a newly created role designed to support executive alignment and delivery across the business. Prettyman joins from Deloitte Digital, where she was Managing Director, and brings extensive leadership experience from Special Group Melbourne and Clemenger BBDO.  

Nick Garrett, CEO of Omnicom Oceania, said the appointments reflect the company’s commitment to evolving its model: “These appointments are about putting transformation into practice, building a business that is more connected, more focused on the customer, and set up to deliver real commercial impact.” He praised Hamilton’s leadership in driving growth and shaping strategic direction, and highlighted Prettyman’s blend of creative, agency and consulting expertise.  

Hamilton expressed enthusiasm for the expanded remit: “We are building something genuinely different, more connected, more capable and better set up to help our clients navigate increasing complexity. Now it’s about bringing that to life in market and for our people – simple, clear and with impact.”  

Prettyman added: “What’s really compelling about Omnicom Oceania is the opportunity to bring together creativity, media and advisory in a genuinely connected way. My experience across agencies and consultancies has shown me how powerful that can be when done well.”  

The appointments mark a strategic step in Omnicom Oceania’s ambition to strengthen its leadership, sharpen its focus on clients, and deliver meaningful commercial outcomes.
