Havas Media has appointed Amanda Pitt to the role of managing partner for new business and marketing, replacing Debra Isaacson who left the agency at the end of last year.

Pitt joins Havas Media from headhunting agency, The Lighthouse Company, where she held the role of head of publisher and media searches.

She said: "I've admired Havas Media throughout my career and have been particularly impressed by their rapid evolution, ambition and success in recent years. They are a talented and innovative group that is set up perfectly for future rapid growth - I am really looking forward to helping them achieve this."

In her new role, which she will take up this month, Pitt will be tasked to create resourceful marketing strategies and provide a modern approach to agency business development.

Paul Frampton, CEO at Havas Media said: “Amanda is an exceptional networker, natural leader and has a brilliant instinct for how to initiate new relationships. She is a big industry name, fully gets the monumental shift agencies are witnessing, but also the importance of relationships and service ethic. I’m absolutely thrilled that she will be joining our team.”

Prior to The Lighthouse Company, Pitt held roles at Haymarket and the BBC.
