Mediaweek is excited to announce that Rowena Millward will be taking over the Mediaweek Academy for 2023 and beyond. Millward will be completing the remaining four classes for the 2023 term, before re-launching a new format in 2024.

Millward spent over 20 years working client side in marketing in Australian, APAC, North American, and Global roles across companies such as Procter & Gamble, Neutrogena and Johnson & Johnson, the last of which she spent over 15 years at.

Millward consults and runs capability programs for many of the world’s most admired brands and companies.  Her leading-edge knowledge across marketing, business and leadership has helped hundreds of brands transform and reinvent themselves in the digital age.

Millward now helps organisations grow faster by “unravelling the knots” which hold them back and then building the new capabilities they need to succeed.  Her clients span client-side, agency-side and publisher-side, both in Australia and around the world.  

Millward is also a two time best-selling author.  Her book “Uncomfortable Growth® – Own Your Reinvention” is now a leading program helping executives navigate career and life crossroads to create their next chapter.  

Millward currently leads OMD Elevate (OMD’s client engagement program), is part of ADMA’s Education Advisory Committee, is a founding mentor for The Marketing Academy and is on the faculty for Thought Leaders Global.  

Of the new partnership, Millward said: “I’m thrilled to be partnering with Mediaweek to build the future skills of the media & marketing industry, especially those which are critical to deep client partnerships and innovation. Agencies always need skills which will drive relationships and revenue, and this is my heartland.” 

Mediaweek general manager and editor, Trent Thomas, said: “We couldn’t be more thrilled to have Rowena on board, she truly is one of the global leaders in this space. She will help us take the Mediaweek Academy to brand new heights for both the rest of this year and beyond.”
