Naked Melbourne hires Tom Ward from GPY&R as MD as Matt Houltham moves to New York
Tom Ward: Patts to Naked
Matt Houltham, MD of Naked Communications Melbourne, is moving to the Enero agency’s New York office.
Houltham joined Naked two years ago from Zenith Optimedia, and moves to New York with a brief to grow the business and build the agency’s relationship with emerging technology companies.
He has been replaced by Tom Ward, who switches from GPY&R Melbourne after a three year-stint stint, latterly as national head of insight and strategy.
Well done Tom. And well done Mike. Perfect fit for the Patts Y&R brand.
Mike Hyde is a great bloke and extremely good at his job. Great appointment by Y&R
Congrats Mike, welcome back to the creative side
now you’re leaving the Planning fraternity Tom, does this mean the beard will be going?
good luck to both Tom and Mike
I think there should be a ceremonial handing over of the beard. Congrats to both gents. Welcome to ‘fancy Richmond’ Tom.
Is that a side swipe from Doherty?
I thought Tom was GPYR’s Head of Planning – not a GAD cum Strategy planner.
Great work matt Tom and mike.
Best wishes to Matt – he’s done a fantastic job for Naked Melbourne and will do a fab job in New York
