will be leading James Squire, Weight Watchers, BPay and the Australian Electoral Commission.
Stephen McArdle, BMF Managing Director, commented: “It’s always a good sign when the work you’re
doing attracts exceptional global talent like Toby and Danielle. But it’s even more exciting for us to be able
to recognise home grown talent like Emma, who has helped us get back to winning ways and produce
some of that world class work.”
