The appointments follow the merger between Fifty Five 5 and Gal Kal that occurred last year. Pearce previously spent three years at Gal Kal as a senior qualitative researcher between 2009 and 2012.

Pearce said of his appointment: “If working at a creative agency has taught me anything, it’s the power of a precise story that can move individuals or businesses forward. I’m pumped to fuse that precision with a deep understanding of the consumer.”

Pearce joins Kristy Richards who joined Fifty Five 5 in March and is also a director of the Melbourne office.

Richards was previously the strategy director of The Lab and has worked at Added Value.

Fifty Five 5 has also recently hired Matthew Scott as a consultant, Thomoas Barbera as senior account manager and Charlie Rose Mitton.

Richards commented on the new hires: “It’s an exciting time in research with clients wanting to fuse traditional and emergent research techniques to find new, nimble, commercially pragmatic ways to unlock growth. I’m looking forward to working with the team at Fifty five 5 to create sharper, faster ways of using research and insight to inform strategy and optimise in market execution.

“With Tom, Charlie and Matt joining Anna, Deepshikha, Jemimah and Laura we have some of the best research talent in Melbourne which is already translating to strong growth for the
business.”
