Icon Agency has promoted David Radestock to the newly created role of executive director of communications and Carly Vale the agency’s new business operations director.
Formerly director of technology, Radestock’s promotion sees him lead Icon’s communications department and its tech clients spearheaded by Slack, Salesforce, and Schneider Electric.
Joanne Painter, Icon Agency managing director, said David was a perfect fit to lead the communications team, bringing experience across sectors and communications disciplines via his work with major brands, including Microsoft, American Express, Lenovo, Twitter and Commonwealth Bank.
“Since joining Icon earlier this year, David quickly earned the trust and respect of the entire agency. His passion and expertise have been clear from day one and ultimately he was an obvious choice to take on this critical leadership role," Painter said.
Radestock said this is a fantastic opportunity.
"I’m proud to do so alongside a passionate, talented and supportive team, and I can’t wait to get started," Radestock said.
Carly Vale joined Icon in February 2022 as a senior program director, now she will work closely with agency leadership seeking opportunities for transformational change; designing and implementing integrated systems to ensure the agency can continue producing exceptional client work.
Vale said she's excited to work alongside Joanne, David, and Icon’s SLT to keep moving the business forward and preparing it for the future.
Painter said Carly’s promotion followed her leadership on several successful projects and her new role addressed the agency’s need for superb organisational structure to support its growing team and client roster.
“This new role is recognition of the fantastic work Carly continues to do and the great ideas and plans she has for the agency’s future. Her tireless work allows the rest of the agency to integrate seamlessly, delivering high-quality work for our clients. She is the agency’s backbone supporting all our teams across four States," Painter said.
