Howatson+Company has restructured its planning department, removing the CSO role, AdNews understands.
The planning department now includes three executive strategy directors; Georgia Pritchard, Katharina Wynee and Will Millar.
Pritchard joined Howatson+Company in 2022 as a senior planner. She has worked at Havas and The Monkeys, now Droga5 ANZ.
Katharina Wynee joined last year from DDB Group Australia. She has also worked as a strategist at TBWA\Australia and Ogilvy.
Will Millar joined Howatson+Company in December last year, formerly group strategy director at Anomaly LA.
The department report's directly to Howatson+Company's founder and CEO, Chris Howatson.
"This structure allows the deep application of strategy on client groups, rather than a surface level approach that one person is generally reduced to due to workload," a Howatson+Company spokesperson told AdNews.
