Interbrand appoints Jake Smallman Melbourne creative lead

Jake SmallmanBranding consultancy Interbrand has appointed a new lead for its Melbourne operation.

Jake Smallman, previously design director at Paper Stone Scissors, will take the same role at the Melbourne office of the Omnicom-affiliated agency.

Smallman was named in 2009’s Art Directors Club Young Guns list which annually showcases the 50 hottest up and coming designers globally. During his stint with Paper Stone Scissors he worked with brands such as the Melbourne Fashion Festival and Woolmark Asia. He is also the co-author of Stencil Graffiti Capital: Melbourne, which sold around 10,000 copies.  

Smallman said: “I’m looking forward to helping shape the Melbourne team and demonstrating that great strategy leads to great visual executions”.

Interbrand’s Melbourne GM Andy Wright said: ‘Jake is one of the hottest designers in Melbourne at the moment and someone that I believe fits with the vision we’re building for Interbrand in general and Melbourne specifically. We’re in an industry where typically, high end creative agencies don’t offer the strategic depth that clients demand and strategic agencies don’t offer the creativity expected. “
