OMD has appointed Harry Jayaweera as Managing Partner, Brisbane. Jayaweera rejoins OMD with over 15 years of media experience across agency, sales, and consulting, most recently as Managing Director of Carat NSW and dentsu X Sydney. Her career includes work in data-led strategy and commercial performance, alongside building teams.
During her previous tenure with Omnicom Media, Jayaweera established and led the group’s national Diverse Media division, helping clients connect with Australia’s diverse audiences through inclusive and accountable media strategies.
“We are incredibly excited to welcome Harry back to OMD,” said Alison Costello, Managing Director, OMD Brisbane.
“Harry brings an exceptional combination of strategic rigour, commercial leadership and humanity. She has a wonderful reputation both within OMD and across the industry for building and nurturing high-performing teams and delivering meaningful outcomes for clients. Being new to the Brisbane market, it has been impressive to see Harry quickly immerse herself in the nuances and culture of the local industry and close-knit community. With Brisbane entering a critical growth phase as we look ahead to the 2032 Olympics, I’m looking forward to partnering with Harry to create what’s next for our clients alongside the OMD team.”
“I’m excited to be returning to OMD and taking on the Managing Partner role in Brisbane,” said Jayaweera.
“Having spent different stages of my career at Omnicom, this move feels both familiar and energising. The opportunity to call Queensland home at such a pivotal time for the state makes this role even more compelling. Under Alison’s leadership, I’m looking forward to working with the team to drive strong outcomes for our clients and shape the next phase of growth.”
