Storm Day has been appointed as the New Zealand lead of Accenture Song and CEO of The Monkeys Aotearoa, soon to become Droga5.
Day has led The Monkeys Aotearoa, part of Accenture Song, and the Song New Zealand Marketing Practice since she joined in early 2022.
The Monkeys Aotearoa was started in New Zealand by Damon Stapleton and Justin Mowday in 2021. With Mowday now at the helm of Accenture New Zealand, Day has taken over the reins of Accenture Song and The Monkeys Aotearoa.
Day has more than two decades of experience in the New Zealand marketing and consulting industry and has worked on global award-winning brands such as Tourism New Zealand, ASB, New Zealand Story, Fonterra, Mazda and Asahi.
Day’s appointment comes a month before The Monkeys Aotearoa will rebrand as Droga5 on 1 December 2024, and follows the promotion of Bronwyn van der Merwe to Accenture Song ANZ lead and Matt Michael as CEO Droga5 ANZ.
Justin Mowday, Country Managing Director, Accenture New Zealand, says: “Storm has been instrumental in expanding the team at The Monkeys Aotearoa and making Accenture Song’s global expertise relevant to the New Zealand market.
“She is a formidable leader with unbeatable local knowledge and experience and is the best person to help steer us into the future as we continue to champion purpose-led growth for our clients in New Zealand.”
Day says: “I am extremely excited to be leading this very talented team and working with our clients to join up purpose and customer experience.
“We help Kiwi organisations put a meaningful purpose at the heart of their culture, operations and experiences to drive growth.
“Combined with the Droga5 name and our incredible creative leader, Damon Stapleton, we will continue to build and sustain Aotearoa’s most influential brands.”
