Global marketing agency TEAM LEWIS has launched a media buying division in Australia and appointed Kevin Fernandes from Havas to run it.
He previously worked as national head of partnerships and adtech at Havas Media.
"Having the opportunity to build TEAM LEWIS' media division in Australia represents one of those rare opportunities to craft truly integrated brand stories that resonate across every touchpoint," said Fernandes.
"I am excited to combine the talent, intelligence and strategic storytelling expertise of the agency to launch not just another capability, but to build out compelling narratives that drive real business outcomes for our clients."
The media buying service offering is a first for the agency in Australia and strengthens its ability to offer data-driven approaches.
Alex Robinson has taken up a new role within the agency as head of creative and content for the Australia market. Robinson joined TEAM LEWIS in June 2024.
"Getting to work across our client portfolio and finding new creative ways to tell their stories, whether that's via earned, owned, or now paid with Kevin in the mix, is seriously exciting," said Robinson.
"Creative thinking drives everything we do at TEAM LEWIS, and with the tools we have at our fingertips there's never been a better time to build remarkable work."
"Leading that from Australia, while teaming up with our creative and content teams across the globe, means we can continue to drive impact for our clients."
