Chris Howatson, founder and CEO, said: “I’ve had the pleasure of working with Drougie for many years. He deeply cares about his clients and how to grow their business. He creates a climate of understanding, care and ambition within the agency. And is truly energised by the transformational power of creative thinking”.

Drougas will partner with the existing leadership team, including Renee Hyde who has been promoted to group managing director, and Rebecca Robertson who continues in her role as managing partner.

Commenting on his new role, Drougas said: “I’m so pleased to be joining the team – it already feels like home. Independent and emerging agency of the Year.  D&AD global independent agency of the year. Cannes global independent agency of the year.  The list goes on and on, and in such a brief amount of time since it’ inception because of a great group of people doing great creative work.  It’s such a simple yet hard formula to achieve but Howatson+Company have got the runs on the board, and I can’t wait to add to the agency’s continued growth and success.”

Prior to joining Howatson+Company, Andrew was chief operating officer and managing director – Melbourne at CHE Proximity as part of his 15 year tenure across the Clemenger Group.
