HBO Max appoints Australian social media agency

Vayner Media has been appointed the social media agency for HBO Max in Australia.

Warner Bros Discovery launched the HBO Max streaming service into Australia in late March, and has handled its social media presence in house.

Ashleigh Bruton, head of social for HBO Max Australia, said, in that time, the streamer has “cultivated a highly engaged social community of the most incredible fans”.
