As an expert in this field, he will work to ensure best practice in the development of effective strategies and smart campaigns, and be on the cutting edge of industry updates and changes. Andrew has the experience and know how to lead the charge and inspire the team. We’re excited to welcome him,” said Harris.

Andrew has twelve years of experience in handling online marketing and sales strategies, first in the telecom industry, at Vodafone and O2 UK, and then Vodafone Hutchinson Australia where he lead the Digital and Direct Sales & Marketing Team. He has spent the last few years heading up a successful digital agency in Queensland.

“I’m excited to be joining Salmat as the business continues to strengthen its marketing services offer, particularly in the digital space. I’ve worked with some exciting brands, both in house and on the agency side, and I look forward to working with Salmat’s existing and new clients to help them drive their digital strategies to reach, convert and serve their customers,” said Lane.

Salmat also recently achieved the Google ‘Premier Partner’ status by meeting Google’s highest standards and criteria for qualification transparency and customer service. Google launched the Premier Partner Program last year to recognise agencies which follow best practices and deliver excellence to businesses advertising with their products such as Search, Video & Display. The program connects Google’s trusted and experienced marketing partners with businesses seeking experts to create, manage and optimise their digital marketing.
