Di Pietro said: “When I was looking for my next big opportunity, WT Perth stood out immediately. They have a distinct, consistent and well-packaged strategic IP that’s a clear point of difference.
“Beyond their business acumen, the importance of people and culture was a real drawcard, something you just can’t manufacture. I’m excited to bring my experience and ways of working to WT and help take them, along with their already talented team, from strength-to-strength”
Managing director at Wunderman Thompson Perth, Gavin Bain, added: “Damo brings his experience leading one of the biggest brands and accounts in Australia to share with the team here in Perth.
“His drive to really understand our culture and the strategic platform we are delivering nationally really stood out in the process. The team all agreed that he is the perfect choice for us.”
The appointment of Di Pietro further accelerates Wunderman Thompson’s evolution in Australia as a purpose-led creative consultancy and positions him alongside recent hire Annabelle Barnum as GM in Sydney and Paulina Embart who was promoted to GM in Melbourne earlier this year.
