Good luck but not goodbye

After seven years as Executive Manager, Strategy & Sales at HOSTPLUS, Umberto Mecchi is moving on to a new challenge.

To wish him all the best with his new venture, THE DM GROUP got together bright and early this morning for some breakfast, bubbly and okay maybe just a little blubbering.

It’s understandable because Umby used to work at trademarkDM before he became a valued client, so we go back a long way.

Good luck Umby.

We’ll miss you.

Forget the Oscars, here come the Andys

The inaugural Andy Awards were an important part of our latest quarterly catch-up.

Conceived by and named after a very good-looking art director, only three coveted awards are up for grabs each quarter.

This time the honours went to:

• Emily Pockley for Brief of the Quarter
• David Buttigieg and Nina Ee for Creative of the Quarter
• Our in-house treehuggers for Initiative of the Quarter.

Congratulations to our winners.

But be warned, hanging on to your titles next quarter is not going to be easy. The rest of us ‘can come up with that stuff too’.
