Amber Abbott has been named CEO of Havas Australia’s One Green Bean (ogb), after leading a period of strong growth as managing director.
Abbott will continue to oversee the agency’s direction alongside managing partner Lauren Bailey and head of content Laura Byrne.
Her appointment comes as the agency marks 18 years in Australia. One Green Bean’s client base includes long-term relationships with Nike and Meat & Livestock Australia, and more recent wins such as Pinterest and Tourism & Events Queensland.
Abbott joined the agency in 2014 and has held roles including head of client services and general manager before becoming managing director in 2023.
“The last two years has seen some of the strongest growth and commercial success in the history of ogb,” said Havas Creative Network ANZ CEO, James Wright.
“Amber has all the attributes you want in a CEO.
“After over a decade with ogb, it is an honour to take on this role. We’ve entered an exciting new era... with the reach, reliability and rigour of a global network behind us. That is a powerful combination,” said Abbott.
“I want to inspire my team to be present in their life beyond work... because the life bit makes you fundamentally better at the work bit.”
