MediaMonks, the digital production arm of S4 Capital, has announced a string of new hires as it formally launches its creative operations in Australia.
The new hires include leaders Kim Jerbo, Shea Warnes and Mark Shunji Davies.
Digital design pioneer Jerbo joins from Leo Burnett Sydney where he was digital creative director.
He has more than 12 years of experience with leading global creative digital practices including R/GA and AKQA.
Strategy director Shea Warnes has been digital strategist in London before coming to Sydney where he’s worked Havas, VMLY&R and DDB.
Mark Shunji Davies joins from Grumpy Sailor as executive producer.
MediaMonks already works with clients including ANZ and NAB, educational institutions including UNSW and Queensland University, and technology clients such as Google and HP, amongst others.
Vinne Schifferstein, managing director, MediaMonks in Australia, says the new hires are sending a message to the market that MediaMonks is growing fast in Australia.
"MediaMonks has always been proudly rooted in advancing our clients for a digital future, and we’re thrilled to attract so many top Australian creatives to accelerate our unique proposition," says Schifferstein.
"Our integrated structure means that clients in Australia can access the best local thinking, supported by unparalleled centres of excellence from our offices around the world.”
MediaMonks already has more than 80 people working in Australia following parent company S4 Capital’s merger with Melbourne-based Adobe consultancy BizTech in 2019.
With the merger of BizTech in March, MediaMonks has scaled the expertise to meet the growing demand of brands looking for an end-to-end solution to fuel digital transformation.
All experts fluent in Adobe’s ecosystems will be operating under one P&L, servicing brands worldwide focused on speed, quality and value.
MediaMonks is now an Adobe Platinum Partner, and one of the few companies in the world with five specialisations across Adobe Campaign, Adobe Experience Manager and Adobe Analytics.
