Communications agency Think HQ has appointed Professor Shane Hearn to the agency’s leadership team in a newly created role of head, first nations engagement and communication.

The announcement coincides with Reconciliation Week, aiming to support and encourage “greater participation by Indigenous people in the industry, and ensure Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are included in all agency communications and activities”, according to a statement from Think HQ.

In the role, Professor Heard will lead and build Think HQ’s First Nations engagement and communication function, with the aim to provide insights into First Nations audiences, connecting them to the agency’s work “to ensure experiences are centred and the Indigenous audience is included in campaigns”.
