Marketforce Group and its affiliated agencies have moved offices, after a 48-year stay on Hay Street in West Perth, to146 Colins Street.
The agency hosted a opening function for clients and staff with special guest David Alan Templeman, minister for culture and the arts. Aboriginal elder, Uncle Vaughn McGuire performed a Welcome to Country to open the new space on Whadjuk boodjar, as chief growth officer Dixie Marshall MC’d the formalities.
Marketforce group co-head of creative Josh Edge held a Q&A with Templeman, which tackled creativity and the creative industries’ role in building WA industry and culture. Templeman regaled the room with stories of his favourite ads from the past, the growth opportunities across commercial and artistic creative industries and the need for all local creative industries to learn from the lessons of sport in building cultural cachet from an early age.
Clemenger CEO Les Timar and Clemenger Group CFO Adrian Ciabotti visited Perth and addressed the function thanking clients for their enduring support and partnership while also reiterating the Clemenger Group commitment to WA.
A $4 million refurbishment has enabled the agency's new building to achieve a 5.5 Star NABERS rating with a full rooftop solar array, EV charge stations and full end-of-trip facilities, including towel service, lockers, full showers, lockable bike sheds and more.
Visitors can even enjoy the on-site Someday Coffee Co or pop over the train line at Perth's newest boutique brewer and beer garden, Phat Brew Club, for something a little more festive.
Most importantly though are the Group’s investment in new facilities that will enhance its evolving service offering to clients including new video editing suites, a recording studio, and separate offices for Marketforce, OMD WA, Flare, Levo and GRA.
Adam Marshall, CEO of Marketforce, said: “When I took on the CEO role at Marketforce back in 2018, the goal was always to develop a leading and proactive agency position in a very competitive WA marketplace.
"With the development of several business units, including Australia’s leading media buying network in OMD WA, award-winning creative, digital and production service in Marketforce/Flare and WA’s only enterprise IT marketing agency in Levo – we have a local market offering that is simply unmatched in Perth”.
