Havas Group’s specialist entertainment communications agency, Organic Pacific has bolstered its team, announcing three appointments following a rush of new business just three months after opening.
Organic Pacific’s growing client needs sees Colette Cordes (main photo, far left) join as senior account director, Alyce Christiansen (far right) as account manager and Orla Doyle (centre, left) as account executive.
Cordes’ 13-year global career as a communications specialist has seen her develop campaigns and storytelling strategies for some of the world’s most iconic entertainment brands including, LEGO, Warner Bros. and HBO. She also spent four years as The Walt Disney Company’s communications manager in London.
Cordes joins Organic Pacific after almost three years leading global communications for Camplify.
Meanwhile, Christiansen spent the past four years working in communications across entertainment, arts and sport for clients including Roadshow Films, Melbourne Theatre Company and the Australian Grand Prix Corporation.
She has worked on dynamic campaigns for Warner Bros, including the company’s first global fan event, DC FanDome, and 2019 film Joker.
Doyle is an AFTRS graduate and emerging screenwriter and director.
Her showreel includes short films, music videos and online drama series, while her experience working as a marketing assistant means she is finely attuned to the need to deliver results as well as great creative.
“What a start. It’s gratifying to have such fantastic new clients from across the arts and entertainment industry recognise the value of our world class communications services and join us from the outset,” said Organic Pacific head of entertainment, Annabelle Gigliotti (centre, right).
“We’re equally thrilled to welcome such talented and passionate individuals as Colette, Alyce and Orla to the fold as we scale our business to service our new clients.
“It’s particularly wonderful to have Colette bring her global expertise back to the Havas Village, where she worked as an account manager at One Green Bean early in her career.”
