This fits perfectly with Initiative’s brand spirit; we’re excited to be their agency partner and support their ambition of being the most trusted wellbeing company in Australia.

“We were very impressed with Initiative’s excellent understanding of our business and the agency’s creativity, fluency in technology and strong effectiveness record,” said Kellie Johnston, Chief Marketing Officer, Australian Unity.
