Mediahub appoints Kim Dolengowski as head of strategy

Mediahub has appointed strategist Kim Dolengowski as its new Head of Strategy, strengthening the agency's leadership team as it looks to deepen its integrated offering across media, brand and creative services.

Dolengowski joins Mediahub's senior leadership team and will oversee the agency's strategic direction across its client portfolio. She will also work closely with 303 Mediahub in Perth and sister agency 303 in Sydney to strengthen collaboration across the wider group.

The appointment comes as Mediahub continues to invest in senior strategic talent amid growing demand from brands for integrated media, creative and cultural thinking.

More than 15 years of strategy experience

Dolengowski brings more than 15 years of experience across Australia and the United States, having held senior strategy roles within global agency networks including Omnicom and IPG. Most recently, she worked at Goanna Academy, where she helped develop the brand strategy and creative platform for mental health initiative Stick With It.

Her client experience spans brands including Coca-Cola, Diageo, Johnson & Johnson, Opella, Mercedes-Benz, Spotify, H&M and American Express.

Mediahub ANZ CEO Sue Squillace said Dolengowski's approach to strategy and collaboration made her a standout candidate.

“We are so excited to have Kim join our Mediahub teams to lead our integrated strategic offering, working closely with 303 to ensure true collaboration. Kim’s approach to connections strategy and creativity stood out during the recruitment process as well as her collaborative approach to working with clients and partners, a core part of our offering.

“As we continue to grow, investing in world-class strategic leadership is critical to ensuring we stay ahead of the evolving needs of brands. I'm confident Kim will play a pivotal role in shaping Mediahub and 303’s next chapter and creating even greater value for our clients, our people and our partners.”

Focus on integrated thinking

Dolengowski said the agency's culture and focus on collaboration were key factors in her decision to join.

"I was drawn to Sue's people-first leadership, and to the incredible talent and world-class brands across the agency. The appetite for integrated thinking, ideas and creativity has never felt more important. It's a great time to come on board, and I can't wait to collaborate with the team, clients and network to do some really smart and growth-driving work."

The appointment takes effect immediately. Dolengowski succeeds Linda Fagerlund, who has relocated to New York to take up a senior strategy role with Initiative NYC.

Squillace also acknowledged Fagerlund's contribution to the business.

“I would also like to thank Linda for her dedication, loyalty and passion to everything she has done over the last two years and wish her all the best in her next exciting adventures in New York. I am sure our paths will cross again, they always do!”
