The announcement:

National independent agency HERO today announced that a new band of Heroes has joined its Brisbane office following a strong start to 2022. The five local recruits add fresh expertise to an industry-leading team delivering borderless creativity to a portfolio of top Queensland clients.

The recent appointments include Michael Geedrick, who joins as a Junior Creative after finishing runner-up in AWARD School 2021 and being named the recipient of the Indigenous Scholarship, Brooke Maloney, joins to run the national Aveo account as Senior Account Director, having moved back to the Gold Coast after being global project lead on HSBC based out of WPP London and aviation nerd Andrew Leftley, joining as a Senior Art Director with multiple Best of Show awards at BADC. Andrew is tasked with taking the visual craft in the agency to new levels.

Ana Matheson and Savannah Tindiglia have both been hired as Account Managers. Ana looks after the agency’s digital projects, including work for City of Gold Coast, esri, GasFields Commission Queensland and Powerlink, and Savannah is the lead singer of local rock band Candra when she’s not attending to her clients.

HERO Brisbane Executive Creative Director, Andrew Thompson, says the first three months of his tenure have been reassuringly busy and necessitated the need to hire.

“I’ve always thought good agencies are like good pub trivia teams – different ages and stages, weird hobbies and interests, able to bring fresh perspectives to our clients’ challenges,” he said. “This band have that in spades. And I’m hoping we do better on Wednesday night Trivia at Felon’s Barrel Hall too.”

Jeremy Bews, Managing Director of HERO Brisbane, added: “There is a real buzz in the agency. Now that masks are off and people are back at work, we’re looking forward to unleashing the full HERO borderless creativity offering to our clients in person.”

HERO, Australia’s top-ranked Independent at the Australian Effies. HERO’s clients include Toyota, Aveo, Eway and v2 Foods.
