Luke Waldren promoted to CEO of Grey Australia

Grey Australia has promoted Luke Waldren, managing partner of the creative agency’s Melbourne office, to the group’s most senior position.

Waldren, who joined Grey two years ago, takes on the CEO job from Paul Gardner, who recently shifted to non-executive chairman of Grey Australia.

Waldren said in a statement: “Grey is already a strong agency with seasoned campaigners like, Nigel Dawson and Randal Glennon in Melbourne and Paul Worboys and Jay Furby heading up Sydney. It is now all about making sure we’re best positioned for new opportunities.”

“I am honored and excited to be appointed to lead Grey at such an exciting time in its history. I look forward to continuing to work with our talented team to build upon our strong momentum and the success we have achieved together so far.”
