Mediacom head of strategy Mat Maroni joins Clemenger BBDO Sydney
Clemenger BBDO Sydney has appointed Mediacom Sydney head of strategy Mat Maroni as a planning director.
He had been with Mediacom in Sydney and London for the last eight years, and had led communications strategy for clients such as Foxtel and Canon.
Al Crawford, executive planning director of Clemenger BBDO Sydney, said: “I’ve worked with Mat for a number of years now on shared clients, so I know how amazing he is. He’s exactly what I’m looking for in a planner: brilliant at coming up with big, enduring brand ideas, but also savvy about how those ideas can come to life in the real world. He’s going to be a massive asset for us and our clients and we’re delighted to have him on board.”
Commenting on his appointment, Maroni said: “I’m delighted to be working at Clemenger. I’ve been impressed with the way the agency combines rich storytelling pedigree with real technological capability and intent. I’m looking forward to working with a bunch of smart people who clearly share my enthusiasm for getting ‘what we say’ and ‘where we say it’ working hard together. I can’t wait to get stuck in.”
Maroni will be a planning director on Clemenger BBDO Sydney clients Virgin Australia and Campbell Arnott’s. The Campbell Arnott’s account is currently out for pitch with incumbents Clemenger and DDB Sydney fighting it out with Ogilvy and BMF for the full account.
Miranda Ward worked for Mumbrella from 2013 to 2017, eventually becoming deputy editor. Miranda joined Mumbrella in September 2013 from Sky News.
