Snack Drawer caps off the year with major wins and five new hires
Snack Drawer has bolstered its team with five new hires to support new major clients and high-impact campaigns.
Two new creators have joined the agency as part of this announcement. They include creative powerhouse, Patricia Carsen, joining as senior creator, and Aaliyah Wattie joining as a junior creator.
Guillaume Michel joins as senior social account manager, bringing experience from Google, Yuba and We Are Social.
Fiona Dunn joins the team from Truce Films along with Tina Jenkins who will take the role of PR account executive.
These hires have increased the growth of Snack Drawer with their staff headcount rising to 20 in 2024.
“This year has been about more than just growth,” says Jamie Searle, CEO and co-founder. “As a business with a 2020 origin story, change is our norm. We are excited to have found the sweet spot between creative advertising and communications, and have operationalised our offering in a way that meets rapidly evolving client needs. As we grow in this space, we are bringing in new, specialised expertise across paid, owned and earned media, investing in upskilling our team in what is our unique and important position in the agency landscape. We are doubling down on our culture and agency values to ensure Snack Drawer continues to be a great place to work, learn and grow, and our clients receive the benefits of that.”
These new appointments will add to the company’s growing creative profile which includes a social-first campaign.
Hannah McElhinney, chief creator and co-founder, adds: “Snack Drawer is focused on how we use creativity and entertainment, as well as our understanding of fandom and culture to provide an antidote to attention decay – an antidote we call Good Attention. The work we’ve created over this year in collaboration with our portfolio of brands really reflects this stance, and our growing team, burgeoning client list and evolving portfolio are a testament to its impact. It’s pretty cool.”
Snack Drawer’s newest additions promise to continue its business growth and reinforce its recognition as one of Australia’s fastest growing young businesses.
