Media agency Frontier Media, part of the VMG network, has appointed Leanne Hood account director and Juliana Ramirez account executive.
Prior Hood was worked at publishers and programmatic trading desks, as well as in agency digital specialist roles for the past 15 years. She joins the agency from the Nine Network where she was a digital advertising sales executive, following stints at Pivotus as programmatic digital sales manager and UM Brisbane as a digital specialist.
Originally from Colombia, Ramirez has worked with Mediacom and Initiative, as part of the media planning team for Unilever brands including Dove, Rexona, Lynx and Sunsilk, before moving to Australia in 2015. She comes to Frontier Media from Network 10 where she was one of the commercial allocation executives.
Both Hood and Ramirez will report to Frontier Media general manager and group client director, Brendan Harper.
“I am thrilled to welcome Leanne and Juliana to the Frontier Media team,” Harper said.
“Their combined experience, particularly in developing strong client relationships and delivering across multiple channels, will allowing us to extend the strong omnichannel media experience we currently carry in market.
“Leanne has extensive experience in the Queensland media market – her appointment is timely as we are ready to welcome new clients to our roster and continue to establish ourselves as a local Queensland based agency servicing an increasingly national presence."
Hood said: “I’m excited to join the Frontier Media team. From the get-go, Frontier Media has felt like a good fit – I’ve always loved delivering integrated client solutions that run across multiple channels and Frontier Media has a strong reputation for omnichannel campaigns.
"Having worked in media in London, Melbourne and Sydney, I returned to Brisbane in 2009 to raise my family. I have a deep understanding of the Queensland market and I look forward to delivering for our client stable.”
Both appointments are effective immediately.
