Media agency MEC has appointed Jane Sullivan as managing partner of its new Brisbane office where she will be charged with leading the Domino’s Pizza account and building new business for the agency in the Queensland market.

MEC’s expansion into Brisbane was first revealed by Mumbrella in late November after the agency won the Domino’s Pizza account from sister agency Maxus.

“Obviously the new office is based on winning new business with Domino’s because they wanted a local agency contact,” CEO Peter Vogel told Mumbrella, this morning.

“I didn’t want to just get an account manager up there. Jane has previously worked at MEC and when you set up an office you need someone who is fairly driven which she is,” he said.

Sullivan worked in the industry for over 14 years and was most recently communications director at UM Brisbane where she was the strategic lead across a range of clients including Ardent Leisure Group, Shine Lawyers, FKP and Bond University.

Prior to UM, Jane spent time client side leading the marketing for the leisure tourism, major events and study divisions at Brisbane Marketing.

The new office will start with a team of three people but will also look to build its Queensland client roster.

“In looking at the market in Queensland there are obviously a number of opportunities for organic growth from some of our existing clients and we know there are also some other opportunities out there,” said Vogel.

“We’ll offer something different, new and optimistic. By the end of the year we’ll have a strong team and brought in some new business.”
