Anne Sutherland.
ARN has announced two appointments to its Melbourne independent agency team.
Anne Sutherland has been appointed as group business director, beginning March 10. A media industry veteran with over 30 years of experience, she has been a part of ARN since 1997, with experience spanning direct and agency roles.
ARN has welcomed back Jordy Bartlett as account director for the team, starting February 26. Bartlett previously spent three years with ARN in the T1 Agency team in Melbourne, progressing from sales coordinator to account manager. After a year with oOh!media in Brisbane, she has returned to Melbourne.
The expansion of ARN’s independent agency team comes on the back of ARN being named IMAA Media Partner of the Year in 2024.
ARN's sales cirector – direct and independent agencies, Brett Sandler, said it’s pleasing to be able to recognise and promote talent of this calibre internally.
"These appointments mark another step in ARN’s ongoing investment in the independent agency sector, ensuring the team continues to deliver outstanding results for our partners across Melbourne," he said.
