Former Dentsu Mitchell boss Kenny Stewart returns to agencies with lead role at OMD

The former national head of media agencies Dentsu Mitchell and Vizeum, Kenny Stewart, has re-emerged as the new group managing director of OMD in Brisbane and WA.

Stewart: “It’s exciting to be joining an organisation with strong, stable leadership and a huge emphasis on a values-based culture”

Stewart , who joins OMD next month, spent eight years working for what is now known as the Dentsu Aegis Network, joining in 2008 under Harold Mitchell as business development director.

He moved up to managing director of Mitchells in 2010, before taking control of the agency and sister company Vizeum in 2013 as CEO. Stewart departed earlier this year as part of a wider shake-up at the company.
