Porter Novelli New Zealand, part of the Clemenger Group, has announced the appointment of Brad Pogson as Managing Director. He joined the senior leadership team last year as Group Account Director, and his new role will see him drive the future direction of the agency, together with recently appointed Executive Director Amber McEwen.

Brad initially joined the agency in 2015 as an Account Manager before spending four years in London working for B2B and technology PR agencies, as well as running his own PR practice. He takes over the position from Louise Wright-Bush, who is stepping down after seven years to pursue a new challenge outside of the Clemenger Group.
