“It’s been a big few months for Hopeful Monsters since we launched with heaps of interesting briefs coming through the door from brands keen to find different ways to grow their businesses.”
“Georgia’s background in the entertainment and music space is of huge value, particularly to the work we do with Converse here in ANZ and globally, and with other brands looking to find a meaningful place in the lives of their audiences.”
Timm joins the agency after stints with LADBible, GROUND, the NRL and DDB alongside six months as a postman for Australia Post. “The fact that Patrick spent time as a postie is gold,” added Kate Barclay, founder, CEO, Hopeful Monsters. “It’s like having a role as a researcher, understanding the daily dynamics of people’s lives.”
The Hopeful Monsters portfolio of clients includes Converse, Adobe, Red Bull, PARK, TheFork – a Tripadvisor company, Goodman Fielder, RSPCA NSW, Pizza Hut and Atlantis Dubai.
