She brings to her position wide-ranging marketing experience which began at IQ Business Group, where she was employed within the process and innovation division, rising from Business Analyst to Associate in two short years. It was during this time that she was approached by McKinsey and Company, renowned for their global research capabilities, to participate in their Leadership Programme.

It was while on the Leadership Programme that she got to spend time at TBWA\Hunt\Lascaris working on brands in the company’s portfolio, so she’s no stranger to the advertising industry.

“This background combined with her diversified business experience, her passion for people and branding experience, will be major attributes that will serve her well in her new role at the agency,” says TBWA\Hunt\Lascaris managing director, Danni Dixon.

“We are thrilled to have Kirsten back at the agency to partner with Priniven Pillay, chief strategy officer, Pete Khoury, the chief creative officer and myself in both the business and the contribution she will make to our clients,” adds Dixon.
