PHD Group CEO Louise Bond elected CAANZ Media Committee Chair to replace Derek Lindsay

Louise Bond, CEO of PHD Group, has been elected to the position of CAANZ Media Committee Chair following Derek Lindsay’s resignation from FCB Media in November 2014.

Lindsay has led a strong Media Committee for most of the past decade, and was elected CAANZ Vice-President in 2011.

CAANZ CEO Paul Head said Lindsay would be a loss to both the industry and the Board but he has left the Media Committee in excellent shape and in the most capable of hands: “I’m delighted that Louise has been elected to lead the CAANZ Media Committee. Louise is renowned across the industry – not just as a talented and accomplished professional, but more importantly as a person who is widely admired and respected.”

In 1999, Bond established the PHD Group of agencies, comprising SparkPHD, PHDiQ and Spark PR & Activate. While SparkPHD has received multiple awards in its history including CAANZ Agency of the Year, Louise was also awarded by the industry and her peers the Sandy Smith Inspiring Individual Award at the 2013 CAANZ Media Awards. She has been a Media Committee member since 2012.

Says Bond: “I’m really looking forward to extending on my contribution to the media and advertising industry and supporting the goals of CAANZ to drive industry development, innovation and growth during these times of rapid change.”
