Publicis Groupe ANZ has appointed Marie Skanderup as Client Partner for Publicis Production ANZ, strengthening the business’s leadership as clients look to more agile, connected and technology-enabled production models.
Skanderup joins Publicis from Ogilvy, where she most recently held dual roles as APAC Transformation Director across the agency’s social business units and Program Director for a leading FMCG brand in Singapore and across the wider APAC region.
In the latter role, she was a senior client leader responsible for a cross-functional team of more than 40 specialists, delivering multi-million-dollar, fully integrated and social-led campaigns.
A focus on modern production models
Across her career, Skanderup has built a reputation for blending strategy, creativity and innovation with operational rigour.
Her appointment reflects Publicis Production ANZ’s focus on bringing together data, technology, creativity and craft to deliver modern content production at scale.
That includes bespoke models tailored to individual client needs, as well as always-on, performance-driven ecosystems that leverage Publicis-owned data and automation tools.

Neil Duncan, MD, Publicis Production ANZ, said Skanderup joins at a key moment for clients.
“Marie’s appointment comes at a time when our clients are looking for their production partners to be collaborative and authoritative in shared transformation – connecting data and technology to content, and having the experience to implement bespoke content production models,” Duncan said.
“Marie brings all of this, and she’s a completely lovely human on top. A very rare find.”
