Nathan will take a senior role (Group Account Director) handling the newly won Unilever Ice Cream Business which includes Magnum. He will also handle the Football Federation of Australia Account. Lowe CEO, Stephen Pearson said “Nathan is a top class suit who is already well respected by the highly successful Unilever Ice Cream team. He handled their business for a number of years at McCann.

Mark Ashley-Wilson will be representing Australia on the Interactive jury at the 49th Annual Clio Awards and Festival, to be held May 14-17 in Miami Beach.
Ashley-Wilson, Rivet’s Head of Interactive, was selected by Interactive Jury Chairman Matias Palm-Jensen of Stockholm agency Farfar. Farfar is ranked #1 digital agency in the world in the 2007 Gunn Report.

Ashley-Wilson said: “It’s really cool that Matias picked me to help out this year. After all, he’s the founder and CD of the best interactive agency in the world.
“The judging should be exciting, because the standard in interactive creative has really improved this year. Ad agencies have finally caught up, and real ideas are starting to shine through, not just technical brilliance.”
