Horizon Communication Group has promoted Lucinda Adler-Ryan and Ariane Krug to the role of Account Director. The pair were previously Senior Account Managers.

Lucinda has been at Horizon for four years, while Ariane joined in 2023, following her time at FleishmanHillard.

After close to five years at McKinsey & Company, Symon Madry has embarked on a new adventure, launching independent consultancy, Qualia Advisory.

The firm offers services spanning executive communications, thought leadership, senior communications leadership, strategy, and business growth. Symon described Qualia Advisory as blending 'the art of communication with the science of perception' to drive connection and change.

Backed by more than two decades of industry experience, Symon was most recently at McKinsey & Company. Prior to that, he was Red Havas' Head of Technology and Business, and has held numerous other senior appointments at global agencies in Australia and the UK.

PR and communications agency, AMPR has elevated Annabel (Bel) Jones to Communications Director. She stepped up after almost a year and a half at the agency, joining from Cancer Council NSW, where she was PR & Communications Specialist.

Prior to that, Bel built up her experience with appointments at STARK MATTHEWS and Edelman.
