Emotive has announced that Alice Tschuchnigg, former executive head thinker at Thinkerbell, has joined the agency as business and culture director.
Alice will take the reins on a portfolio of high-profile accounts including Wotif, Mount Franklin and HelloFresh. Beyond her responsibilities in account
management, Alice will play a pivotal leadership role in overseeing the People & Culture program, helping to deliver on the agency’s vision, ‘the best place to work to do the best work of your life’.
During her tenure at Thinkerbell, Alice was instrumental in driving standout work, consistent growth and maintaining strong client relationships across accounts including BINGE, Lifeline, and Hort Innovation.

The energy, ambition, and creativity here are contagious, and I’m eager to dive into the brilliant work being done for some of Australia’s most iconic brands. I look forward to contributing to both client success and the agency’s fun and ambitious culture,” said Tschuchnigg.
“2024 is shaping up to be our best year yet — the work, the people, the momentum! We’ve been investing heavily in building out our team across the business and have never been more focused on delivering on our purpose: creating ideas that change how people feel,” said Simon Joyce, CEO of Emotive.
“But at the heart of this growth is our culture — one built on the best talent and an additive mindset. Alice is an award-winning marketing specialist with over 15 years of global experience in advertising, media, and PR. I know she will bring a fresh energy and passion to the team, and I can’t wait to see the impact she will have on the work and the culture”.
