Sylvia will remain closely connected to Stratitude as a director and shareholder, continuing her involvement at a board and shareholder level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Nearly Two Decades of Building Stratitude<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As a founding member, Sylvia has played an integral role in growing Stratitude from its beginnings into the full-service, strategy-led creative agency it is today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under her leadership, the agency has expanded its capabilities and client portfolio, produced multiple award-winning campaigns and built a reputation for combining strategic thinking, creativity and integrated execution to deliver against real business objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sylvia has also helped grow Stratitude&#8217;s international presence through AMIN Worldwide, building relationships with independent agency partners around the world and creating opportunities for collaboration, shared expertise and new business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Natalie Davies Takes the Reins as CEO<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While the title may be new, Natalie&#8217;s leadership of the business isn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the past two years, Natalie has increasingly taken responsibility for Stratitude&#8217;s operations, people, clients and commercial performance, making her appointment as CEO a natural next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her leadership extends internationally too. After taking over Sylvia&#8217;s position on the AMIN Worldwide EMEA Board, Natalie has since become Co-President of AMIN Worldwide EMEA, helping ensure continuity in Stratitude&#8217;s international relationships and opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Sylvia Zanetti on Stratitude&#8217;s Next Chapter<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sylvia says:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Building Stratitude into the agency it is today has been one of the most significant and rewarding chapters of my career. I&#8217;m incredibly proud of what we&#8217;ve built \u2013 the clients we&#8217;ve won and retained, the work we&#8217;ve created, the awards we&#8217;ve earned, the international relationships we&#8217;ve developed and, above all, the team and business that exists today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This isn&#8217;t a goodbye to Stratitude. As a director and shareholder, I&#8217;ll remain connected to the business I&#8217;ve helped build, but I believe the time is right to hand over the day-to-day leadership. Natalie knows our business, our clients and our people exceptionally well. I have every confidence in her ability to build on what we&#8217;ve created and lead Stratitude into its next chapter.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Natalie Davies on Leading Stratitude Forward<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Natalie says:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a privilege to formally take on the leadership of a business that Sylvia has spent nearly two decades building. Having worked alongside Sylvia over the past few years, I know the strength of the business, our people and our client partnerships incredibly well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m excited to build on that foundation and take Stratitude forward, while continuing to deliver the strategic thinking, creative work and level of partnership our clients know and expect from us.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Looking Ahead<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As we step into this next chapter, we&#8217;re excited about what lies ahead for Stratitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the continuity of our team, client relationships and strategic approach firmly in place, our focus now turns to the future \u2013 building on the strong foundations we&#8217;ve established while continuing to map Stratitude&#8217;s growth and evolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s plenty still to come, and we&#8217;re excited to see where this next chapter takes us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After nearly two decades of building and leading Stratitude, Sylvia Zanetti is stepping down from her day-to-day executive role as Managing
