We continue to grow with four new appointments, including a full time team member based in Melbourne.

The SOCIETY team in Sydney continues to evolve, with Georgie Campbell who has returned to Australia after working in New York for the last 12 months where she worked across big brand clients including YSL Beauty, Uber, Converse and Kate Spade New York. She has previously also worked on South Australian Tourism Commission and Gumtree. Georgie is a strong publicist who loves working across the strategic direction for her clients and looking at thought leadership opportunities. She is a well rounded Account Manager with her experience spanning across consumer, corporate, fashion and lifestyle. 

We also welcome Melissa van der Haak in her position as Senior Marketing Communications Director in Adelaide. Before her recent return to Australia, Melissa previously led a fourteen-strong in-house PR and social team in the United Kingdom. As a former broadcast journalist, Melissa brings with her fifteen years of global experience leading award-winning campaigns and events across consumer, lifestyle, tourism and technology brands.

Vassallo continued: “It is fantastic to have someone with a strong and diverse skill set like Melissa joining us. Her passion and drive for PR and communications will certainly be inspirational in her leadership with our clients and the team.”
