Design business Re, part of the M&C Saatchi Group, expands its Australian presence with a new office in Melbourne, alongside Sydney.
Re Melbourne’s team of five is led by creative director Shannon Bell, whose work has been awarded at Cannes, One Show and D&AD.
This week, Re’s work for Melbourne-based Maurice Blackburn Lawyers launched. Led by Bell, the new brand identity and employer brand for the leading plaintiff law firm are the first in 12 years. Re’s Melbourne-based clients also include Medibank, Ethos Urban and Mr Yum.
“We’ve been working with clients here for a while now, so it feels beyond time for Re to open a dedicated Melbourne office. I’m very excited to continue building our team here, as well as work more closely with our M&C Saatchi Group partners,” Bell said.
Bell’s transition to Melbourne follows eight years at Re Sydney, where she has led the creative team working across clients including Optus, Commonwealth Bank and Woolworths, with a particular focus on verbal identity projects.
“Re Melbourne is a silver lining from the pandemic. We were able to hire the best design talent in Australia regardless of location, and so we brought together a team of exceptional brand, digital and verbal designers in Melbourne,” says Benjamin Harrison, managing director, Re APAC.
