New company

Hot on the heals of THE DM Group’s official launch last Thursday, we’re pleased to welcome senior art director, Craig Sneddon, to the trademarkDM creative department.

Hailing from Manchester, Craig joins us from Publicis Dialog London where he was working with major brands including Hewlett Packard, Zurich Insurance and Visa.

With a heritage in direct marketing –  plus comprehensive experience working through the line across all mediums – Craig is a natural fit for us.

And most importantly, our clients.

It’s official

On July 1, our team marked the creation of THE DM GROUP with a 12 hour staff launch lunch.

Last night, we officially launched THE DM GROUP publicly with an open office celebration for our clients, suppliers and good agency friends – like Mark, who flew from Sydney to spend the night with his old agency.

And with the last revelers arriving home at 6am (after a 4pm start), we can only assume it was a great success.

Winning decisions

The Decisions 101 tutorial we created for UniSuper was recently announced as a finalist in the ASFA Communications Awards.

After seeing this digital piece win Best Online Direct Mail at the Rainmaker Marketing Excellence Awards earlier in the year, we’re looking forward to more good news when the ASFA winners are announced next Thursday.

We’ll keep you posted.

Introducing…

We couldn’t be more pleased to welcome Andy Bannister to THE DM GROUP as trademarkDM’s new Head of Healthcare.

Having worked in every facet of the healthcare field – medical publishing, pharmaceutical sales and brand management, medical education, even healthcare PR – we’re thrilled that Andy’s moved agency-side.

It’s great for us. It’s even better for GSK.

One big happy group

Finishing sometime around 2am, THE DM GROUP launch lunch (that’s right – lunch) was a resounding success.

And not just for staff – but also for several inner-city bars whose businesses boomed overnight.

Thanks, John!
