Melbourne managing director, Gavin MacMillan, said the appointments came as a result of a year of growth for the agency.
“Last year was a big year of growth for us, so it’s important we not only have the right team for the work right now, but the strongest team for what’s coming next. We are extremely happy to be able to announce these new appointments. They are all great people, with fantastic skills, who are all on top of their game,” MacMillan said.
