Ikon hires Sharon Cookson from OMD as Melbourne takes on group strategy hub role

STW Group media agency Ikon has hired Sharon Cookson as agency director in a move to strengthen the Melbourne office’s strategic offering.

Cookson moves on from her head of strategy and content role at OMD, having been promoted to the national position in June last year.

She will be based in Melbourne, but have a national strategy role for Ikon.

The appointment comes as Ikon rolls out a new strategy for the group, with Melbourne acting as the strategic and innovation hub.
