Megan Pritchard has been appointed Chief Executive Officer of Ogilvy Namibia.
Pritchard, who celebrates her 10-year anniversary with the agency on 1 October, was previously the Operations Director for the past five years.
As CEO, Pritchard, who was appointed as a shareholder in April 2024, will now focus on long-term strategies, financial stewardship, and driving the operational vision of the business.
Rozanne van der Merwe, who succeeded agency founder Anny Mouton as Managing Director in 2017, will continue in her role.
“Megan has been instrumental in shaping the operational backbone of this agency,” said Van der Merwe.
“Her leadership and insight have already contributed so much to Ogilvy Namibia’s success, and I’m excited to see how she will drive our future vision as CEO. Together, we are committed to strengthening the creative and strategic impact we deliver to our clients.”
Commenting on her appointment, Pritchard said, “Ogilvy Namibia is moving into a new era, one that builds on our legacy while charting bold, new directions. I am honored to step into the CEO role and excited to work closely with Rozanne and our entire team to drive innovation and meaningful results for our clients.”
The appointment comes just one week after the launch of the Ogilvy Academy, an initiative aimed at shaping the future of creative talent in Namibia, launched in partnership with the Red & Yellow Creative School of Business.
The Ogilvy Academy will be run by agency founder Anny Mouton.
