Most recently King has worked as head of strategy and client services at Keepers – a specialist marketing agency.

King said of the new role: “My experience in tech and data will play a broader role, pushing Edge to fulfil their mission of delivering a one-to-one content experience at scale. I want to help accelerate that nationally,” Dan King says.

Edge currently has offices in Sydney and Melbourne. In Sydney Edge works with clients including Suncorp, AUSSIE Home Loans, Volkswagon, LendLease and Pet Barn and iin Melbourne with clients such as Australia Post, ANZIFF and Australian Unity and Australian Super.
