Spark Foundry Australia has appointed Christian Solomon as managing director of its Melbourne office, where he will lead the team and oversee operations, working closely with clients and partners to drive strategic growth and continued business momentum.
Solomon brings more than 20 years’ experience across advertising and technology. He spent a decade working in China for MediaCom, where he developed deep expertise in digital transformation and large‑scale integrated marketing, before returning to Melbourne seven and a half years ago to help lead Mindshare Melbourne. He began his career in digital agencies and brings a strong digital-first capability shaped by experience across international and Australian markets.
Spark Foundry Australia CEO Matt Turl said Solomon is well known for building high‑performing teams and enduring client partnerships, with a proven track record of delivering sustained results.
“Christian brings experience and perspective that strongly reflect Spark Foundry’s ‘intelligent disobedience’ mindset—knowing when to challenge convention in service of better outcomes,” he said.
“As part of our national executive leadership team, he will play a key role in ensuring our Melbourne business continues to deliver connected, insight‑led solutions with real client impact. He also brings an empathetic and growth orientated mindset which will enable the strong culture we have built to continue to flourish.”
“I’m excited to take on this new challenge with Spark Foundry – an agency with a strong reputation and a clear vision for the future. I look forward to partnering with the team to bring fresh perspective and experience, and to help drive continued growth,” commented Solomon on his appointment.
