Peter Bray has become one of the first in Australia from a digital background to become manager of an ad agency.

Bray, who joined The Brand Shop as digital director in September, has also taken on general manager responsibility for the Sydney-based creative agency.

Interesting point on ‘one of the first’, and an interesting trend … especially if you are a fellow believer that digital isn’t a marketing speciality per se, more an enabler. 1to1 now continually being enhanced through technology and it’s impact (i.e. Direct communication … brand-to-consumer and peer-to-peer)

Immediate people to then jump to mind are …
– Sean Hanneberry at Sapient Nitro
– Pontin at Clems Sydney
– Victoria Curro (ex MD, McCann Erickson)
– Michael Branagh at SapientNitro
