Rangaka, who has been with Ogilvy for more than 10 years, will lead the Cape Town campus, while Barnes, who joined Ogilvy with the Gloo merger, will lead the Johannesburg team.
Several simultaneous promotions and restructures have taken place in the wider group, including the promotion of Molefi Thulo and Peter Little to ECD roles in Johannesburg as well as the appointment of Marion Bryan and Irene Styger as creative directors in Johannesburg. Neil White, Alex Goldberg and Taryn Scher have taken up creative director roles at Ogilvy Cape Town.
“We’re really excited for Matt and Tseliso to take the creative helm moving forward. They are exceptional at their craft and great fun to work with,” said Ogilvy SA CEO Alistair Mokoena.
