Intellihub appoints its first Head of Communications

Media communications agency, Zephyr PR, and full-service marketing agency, Revolution Creative Group, have announced the launch of Zephyr Agency, a new brand created to bring together strategic communications, creative solutions, and digital services.

The launch follows Zephyr PR’s acquisition of PDPR Marketing and Creative in March 2025 and the subsequent opening of their Melbourne office.

Operating from its Gold Coast headquarters and Melbourne office, Zephyr Agency will provide clients with access to an integrated team across public relations, branding, digital marketing, content production, and creative services.

The agency will be led by CEO, Rebbecca Davis, who brings over 20 years’ experience in strategic communications, brand development, and business leadership across industries including property and construction, professional services, health and wellbeing, hospitality, technology, and government.

Rebbecca said the launch reflects the evolution of the agencies’ shared vision to deliver an integrated approach to communications, creative solutions, and brand growth for their growing client base.

“While this marks a new chapter, we want to be clear that we’re not stepping onto unfamiliar ground. For over six years, we’ve continued to expand our services and along the way we have uncovered the special synergy that exists when the people writing your media release are working alongside those building your website and shooting your content,” she said.

“Zephyr Agency reflects the way we’ve already been working with clients, bringing together strategic thinking, creative execution and communications expertise to deliver stronger outcomes. This integrated model allows us to think bigger, move faster and expertly deliver outcomes that are both creative and commercially effective.”

Zephyr Agency plans to continue to grow its national footprint, supporting clients across Australia and international markets. Meanwhile, Revolution Creative Group will continue operating independently while supporting existing client agreements through to April 2027.
