Em’s a legend. Luckily she has always kept it real, and would never say words like ‘interoperability’. Ha ha. Love the words big network agencies use these days.

Kind, collaborative, unwavering. Emma has earned her career alongside the best our industry has produced. There’s no ego, just an enormous energy to have a positive impact. She has helped build a business and an agency culture at M&C Saatchi Melbourne unlike any other.
Those who work with her know what a gift she is.

Now the brand is a dull, stock image shadow of itself, Tourism Australia is offloading work to CHEP and TAB is cheap retail. When they stop building in house agencies and lose their design house, maybe the work will improve. No wonder they’re shuffling the senior ranks again.
