MediaCom has announced three key appointments to its national strategy team, all effective immediately.
Stepping into the role of managing partner, head of strategy, Sydney is Rob Frost; alongside Marine Turner and Alison Luxmore as group strategy directors.
Frost relocates from New York, where his most recent role was leading strategy globally for Uber and Hotels.com for MediaCom USA, to Sydney.
He will be responsible for leading the Sydney strategy team, ensuring strategic excellence for clients, with a particular focus on Uber and eBay.
Luxmore returns to the agency after maternity leave. She will partner with clients to identify opportunities for brand growth and will also work across all Sydney clients but will have a particular focus on Bayer and Hasbro.
Meanwhile, Turner returns to MediaCom Australia after seven years at MediaCom UK.
