Storm Day is taking the helm as New Zealand lead of Accenture Song and CEO of The Monkeys Aotearoa, which is soon to be rebranded as Droga5.

Day has been at the helm of The Monkeys Aotearoa and the Song New Zealand marketing practice since early 2022. The Monkeys Aotearoa was initiated in New Zealand by Damon Stapleton and Justin Mowday in 2021. Mowday is currently leading Accenture New Zealand.

Day brings over two decades of experience in the New Zealand marketing and consulting industry. She has worked with global award-winning brands such as Tourism New Zealand, ASB, New Zealand Story, Fonterra, Mazda, and Asahi.

"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," said Justin Mowday, Country Managing Director, Accenture New Zealand.

The Monkeys Aotearoa will undergo a rebranding as Droga5 on 1 December 2024. This follows the promotion of Bronwyn van der Merwe to Accenture Song ANZ lead and Matt Michael as CEO Droga5 ANZ.

"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," said Storm Day, incoming Accenture Song NZ Lead and CEO of Droga5 Aotearoa.
