In his new role, Rowe will operate across all of Omnicom’s UK businesses, acting as chief strategy officer as well as chief digital officer, as well as supporting agencies on client transformation and leading development of end-to-end digital capabilities.

In her new role, Collins will work with agency teams to drive performance, and will report to Rowe.

Dan Clays, chief executive of Omnicom Media Group UK, said: “Henry brings deep technical expertise and experience through a strategic lens, and has operated in holding group businesses, independent, digital marketing services and consulted inside clients.

“Everyone he’s worked with – agencies, clients and partners – waxes lyrical about him, and he’s a strong believer in building brilliant cultures.

“I’m equally delighted to have Laura join us. She’s an exceptional talent, with real expertise, who understands both the needs of the agencies and clients – and is hugely passionate about talent and an inclusive culture.”
