Hearts & Science New Zealand CEO, Jane Stanley, has picked up first place at this year’s Women Leading Change Awards in the Vision Leader category for building an agency during a global pandemic.
Whilst many leaders would be daunted by the task of building an agency from scratch during the challenging time and not to mention in an already established market, Jane has done just that and with huge success, recent industry reporting (RECMA 2020) shows that Hearts & Science NZ has launched itself into the top ten most significant media agencies in market.
Jane told us “It’s truly incredible to be recognised as female leader across Asia Pacific and be amongst these amazing women nominated. Like so many business leaders, I learnt so much during COVID, often having to adapt my skills and experience to fit the new business reality.”
Peter Horgan, CEO at Omnicom Australia and New Zealand, said “Jane is building Hearts as a communications consultancy that is redefining how an agency can drive client growth. We are so proud that she has been recognised at WLCA for both her vision and achievements.”
Hearts & Science NZ was launched in late 2019 as part of OMG’s global expansion of its third agency network. Industry leaders Hearts & Science specialises in using customer data to help brands build individual relationships with customers at scale.
The Women Leading Change Awards aims to celebrate women who lead, inspire, and motivate greatness across Asia-Pacific and champion the advancement of women in the marketing communications industry.
As part of Campaign’s programme to drive diversity and inclusion, the Women Leading Change Awards have celebrated the achievements of hundreds of outstanding women, from business leaders and change makers to trailblazers and rising stars from across Asia-Pacific’s marketing communications industry.
