The IMPACT Agency has promoted Victoria O'Neill to General Manager. She has been at the agency for more than 17 years, most recently as Chief Operations Officer. Victoria has also served as Group Account Director and prior to this was Editor at Mortgage Business (now The Adviser).  

Derek Lee has joined Currie & Brown as Marketing & Communications Manager, APAC. Based in Malaysia, he is responsible for the consultancy's regional corporate branding and communications, while overseeing content marketing initiatives.

Derek brings more than 11 years of strategic communications experience from various organisations, including The Gardens Mall, Deloitte, and FedEx. 

Good Humans PR has expanded its team with the appointment of Robyn Rigoli as Social, Influencer and PR Manager and Felicity Clifford as Publicist.

Robyn joins with more than seven years’ experience across Melbourne’s PR agencies, having worked with clients including Fed Square, City of Melbourne, The LUME, Victoria by Farmer’s Daughters and Toddy Shop, alongside retail and consumer brands STIHL, Harris Scarfe, Anaconda, Spotlight and SPC. She has experience across media campaigns, creator strategies and launch activations. Robyn's appointment comes in response to increasing demand for campaigns that integrate PR, social, influencer and content from the outset.

The new appointments also mark an expansion of the agency’s national footprint, with Felicity joining as the team's first Sydney-based team member. She joins following her time at live entertainment producer, Michael Cassel Group, where she delivered national campaigns for productions including Hamilton, Beetlejuice The Musical, The Picture of Dorian Gray and Titanique.

Director, Remy Chancerel, said the appointments reflect the agency’s focus on building a team of experts who provide confidence, value and an understanding of real results.

“We’re building a team of expert individuals who provide dedicated hands-on support. Both Robyn and Felicity bring such comprehensive and diverse sets of skills, as well as a shared belief in thoughtful, integrated work that genuinely supports our clients," she said.
