Red Havas Australia announces new CEO

Red Havas Australia has announced the appointment of Shane Russell as the agency's new CEO. Born and bred in Queensland, he returns to Australia after more than a decade at New York-based agency, 5W Public Relations, where he helped drive the agency's expansion in the US.

Having commenced his career working across a broad range of consumer and B2B businesses, Shane has recently specialised in leading teams working on technology and corporate brands, and brings experience across consumer and enterprise technology brands including Samsung, Amazon Go, Crossfit, Roblox and Axiom Space.

On the appointment, Red Havas Global CEO and CEO of Havas Creative Group Australia, James Wright said: “Red Havas is one of the fastest growing PR networks across the globe. Knowing first-hand the competitive nature of the New York environment, I’m excited to see Shane bring the skills and enterprising attitude that saw him thrive in the US and apply them to our ambitious growth plans in Australia

"Alongside his strong leadership capabilities, we are excited about the additional insights and experience that Shane will bring to our Australian offering as we press ahead with our ‘borderless’ global strategy to transcend countries, audiences, channels and formats and seamlessly share our clients’ full stories, wherever their audiences choose to consume it."
