Katharina Wynne joins Howatson+Company as Executive Strategy Director

Howatson+Company has announced the appointment of Katharina Wynne as Executive Strategy Director.

Wynne brings over 15 years of strategic expertise to the role, with a career that began at Ogilvy in Southeast Asia before relocating to Ogilvy Sydney. She later joined TBWA as Strategy Director, and most recently held the position of Strategy Partner at DDB Sydney.

At Howatson+Company, Wynne will report to Lillian Sor, the agency’s recently-appointed Chief Strategy Officer.

Says Wynne: “I’m so thrilled to be joining such a high-performing and passionate team that’s constantly evolving and pushing boundaries. There’s an energy here – a creative spark and a pace of innovation and thinking – that is genuinely inspiring. I’m eager to roll up my sleeves, contribute to the bold, ambitious work this agency is known for, and help shape the next chapter of its incredible journey.”

Says Chris Howatson, CEO of Howatson+Company: “Kat is an inspiring ball of energy, that like Lil, brightens every room she enters. Her insights are smart and her understanding of creativity is going to push our work further. We’re very grateful to have her join our team.”

Wynne’s work has been recognised with multiple effectiveness awards across Australia, APAC, and Europe – including a Bronze IPA Award. Last year, Wynne led McDonald’s ‘The Original Mouthful’ campaign for the Big Mac, which scored a Silver Lion at Cannes.
