Omnicom media agency OMD has announced the appointment of Rachel Page as the new Managing Director of its Melbourne office. Page, formerly the National Director of Digital Sales at Seven Network, will step into her new role on March 31, 2025.
This leadership change is part of a broader restructuring within Omnicom Media Group, which sees former OMD Melbourne MD Antonia Glezakos transition to Smith St., the bespoke agency dedicated to Coles Group, as Executive Partner. Glezakos will work alongside Tristan Alexander, Psembi Kinstan, and Matt Pearce to drive strategic growth initiatives for the supermarket giant.
With an impressive 28-year career spanning Seven West Media and Yahoo, Page brings extensive media expertise to her new position at OMD.
Additionally, Kenny Stewart, OMD Group Managing Director, has departed after more than eight years leading operations across Western Australia, Queensland, and Victoria. His contributions, along with those of Glezakos, were recognized by Sian Whitnall, Co-CEO of OMD Australia.
“I want to thank Kenny and Antonia for their immense contributions and leadership that have driven ongoing success for this key OMD market, most recently welcoming Dental Boutique Group as our newest client partner. It’s a privilege to have Antonia remaining as an executive leader in our broader business, building on her incredible legacy of the last 16 years,” Whitnall stated.
“We are so fortunate to have such a talented and dynamic team in Melbourne, consistently producing market-leading work for some of Australia’s most iconic brands. With a passion for nurturing talent and culture, and a strong network of relationships in this market, Rachel is the perfect leader to continue building on OMD Melbourne’s success and start this new chapter alongside our Melbourne leadership team,” Whitnall said.
“What a fabulous opportunity to lead and create what’s next with the talented team at OMD. I am excited to focus all my energy on my hometown of Melbourne, working with such an iconic brand and partnering with people I have respected throughout my career. I have big shoes to fill and much to learn, and I look forward to bringing some new ideas and an energised approach to OMD’s market leading leadership, our teams and our clients,” Page said.
