“Scott is highly regarded in the Australian market as someone who continually surpasses challenging expectations. As well bringing his market expertise to the table, he will help transform the way we approach client briefs, and increase Razor’s capacity to empower brands to explore ‘new world connections’, using innovative media solutions that engage and connect directly with consumers,” he said.

“Scott has built his reputation with great work across a broad range of categories, and continues to push innovation across both direct response and brand campaigns. He will work closely with group teams at creative agency Joy and social pioneers Amplified to push client campaigns across a diverse range of media assets.”

Scott joins Razor following seven years with Ikon Communications where he was client service director and led the accounts of high profile brands such as Sony Music, Goodman Fielder and Stockland. He has a wealth of experience both in Australia and overseas. Since beginning his career at DDB in the early 90’s, he has led accounts for international corporations like Hyundai, McDonald’s, Wrigley’s, CBA, LloydsTSB, and Foxtel.

Scott said: “Razor has proven itself as both a leader and innovator in the Australian marketing space. It’s a dynamic time for our industry and I look forward to coupling my passion, knowledge and experience with Razor’s progressive thinking to help shift the agency into the new media age.”
