Tristan Burrell, Initiative Australia’s chief strategy Australia, said in a statement: “We’re focusing very strongly on the Melbourne market and looking forward to having Sergio’s creative and strategic thinking working with our clients and agency teams.
“He’s truly a first-class professional with broad experience in many aspects of media communications.”
Brodsky said: “I am very grateful to Starcom and the opportunities it has provided, but also incredibly excited with my move to Initiative. People are the secret sauce of success and after meeting with Tristan Burrell and Australia CEO Mel Fein, I have no doubt that Initiative is well set up to game-change the industry and positively impact the brands it serves.”
