AUCKLAND, Today: NZ’s newest and largest full-service creative indie Stanley St has appointed media veteran Andrew Reinholds to its senior leadership team, as head of media.
Reinholds will now be building on an already strong media offering, honed by former incumbent Rachel Cormack, who has joined DAN Auckland as head of commercial operations.
“We are very excited to have Andrew joining the team,” says Ian Rodney, newly appointed managing director of Stanley St. “We are looking to develop an evolved creative and media partnership embracing data, content and technology, to better meet clients always-on needs, and Andrew will be key to this offering.”
Reinholds was formerly the managing partner of OMD NZ, where he played a role in the global media agency’s success over the last 20 years.
Under his leadership, OMD won Campaign Asia’s Media Agency of the Year for four years running. Previous to this, Reinholds was the head of strategy, during which time OMD was the second most awarded NZ agency at the local CAANZ Media Awards.
“He joins in October, taking up a national role across the agency’s Auckland & Wellington offices, leading a 25-person media team.”
“I’m genuinely excited to be coming back home to a full-service environment”, says Reinholds. “I’m even more excited at the opportunity to be part of a 100% independently owned, full-service agency.
“After spending the last 20 years in a holding company, the idea of being a true challenger in the market feels incredibly invigorating and refreshing.
“Now, more than ever, clients are demanding integrated creative and media thinking. Quite clearly, the full-service model is best positioned to deliver this promise.”
Reinholds will join Stanley St in October, taking up a national role across the agency’s Auckland and Wellington offices, and leading a 25-person omni-channel media team.
“We are all looking forward to having Andrew’s experience in the agency,” Rodney said. “He will be an invaluable resource for not only our client’s, but also the wider Stanley St group. As a leader, he has a reputation for elevating company culture and inspiring success. The Fall has been added to the playlist.”
