Malone has had a global career which spans more than 15 years and four countries, having led several strategy departments, launched and built a behavioural science consultancy and worked at drinks giant Lion as a creative strategist where he helped drive new product development.
Malone joins Town Square from Cummins & Partners where he was chief strategy officer in Melbourne. He has also worked at TBWA and DDB in Australia and had senior roles at Mullen Lowe in the US and at Ogilvy in the US, India and New Zealand, on brands including Jeep, Unilever, Hyatt, ANZ, Telstra, Arnott’s, McCain and Cancer Council Australia.
Alison Ray, general manager at Town Square said Malone brings a wealth of diverse strategic thinking and leadership experience to the agency that will benefit all existing and new clients.
"We continue to attract significant brands to the agency wanting the expertise and benefits working with an independent brings, and Jeff will only elevate that further. In addition to being a big brain, he’s also a great person and we are delighted he’s joined the Town Square team," Ray said.
Malone said it’s rare to find an agency that cares as much about their own people as they do the work.
"Add to that to a solid foundation of great clients and some huge ambitions and I was sold," Malone said.
