Activation and sampling network Blobfish International has appointed Jake Kerr as campaign co-ordinator.
Kerr will be responsible for supporting the Blobfish International team on campaign delivery, client service and helping to grow the business via social media and new partner on-boarding. Kerr will report to senior team members Rose Rye and Rebecca Page.
Kerr comes to Blobfish International from Red Bull, where he worked as a student marketer, partnering with university clubs and societies to enhance their events. He played a critical role in large-scale events including the Australian Formula One Grand Prix, the Wings for Life Charity World Run, Melbourne’s Red Bull Unlocked and the Red Bull Basement student sessions.
Blobfish International CEO, Nic Cann, said: “We’re thrilled to have Jake joining our team.
"Jake has demonstrated a passion and enthusiasm for on-the-ground events and activations, and I am certain he will be a welcome addition to the Blobfish business.
"We’re excited to bring fresh talent, like Jake, into the industry, and develop up-and-coming marketers.”
Kerr said: “I love being able to have an impact on a brand, and this role with Blobfish will allow me to be deeply involved with brands in a tangible way.
"I’m really looking forward to learning from the Blobfish team and helping to deliver for our clients.”
Kerr’s hire comes on the back of Blobfish's expansion into the UK market, significant growth within its Australian team, and partnerships with major clients including R U OK?, Woolworths and Roadshow Films.
Kerr’s appointment is effective from January 16.
