Specialist healthcare agency, London Agency, has started off 2026 with a strategic leadership update and two new appointments.
Mathew Langdon, previously Public Affairs Director, has been appointed to the newly created role of Commercial Director. A former Federal Health Minister Media Advisor and journalist, he had previously led the agency's public affairs capability and will now focus on commercial strategy, growth planning, and managing senior client partnerships.
Mathew joins Client Services Director, Annette Stenhouse, to strengthen the leadership team, combining his experience with Annette's 11 years at the agency. Both leaders will sit alongside London Agency's founder and Managing Director, John Emmerson.
Mathew said: "I'm excited to step into this role and help the agency build on the strong foundations we already have. My focus is on supporting the team to work even more efficiently and effectively as we grow, and making sure we’re set up to deliver even more great work. It’s a privilege to work alongside John, Annette and the wider team as we conquer this next year."
London Agency has also expanded its PR team with the appointment of Carla Wijaya as Account Manager and Willow Spring as PR Account Coordinator.
Carla has built up PR and digital communications experience in Australia through roles at the PR Group and Icon Agency, while Willow stepped into the role after completing a three-month internship at the agency.
Reflecting on the agency's growth, John said: "2025 was an exciting year for London Agency. With a high-performing leadership team and the addition of talented new colleagues, we can continue delivering impactful, insight-driven results for our clients across the region. We look forward to seeing what we can achieve together in 2026."
