Ben Lilley, founder of Hero Group, said: “Louise, Elly and Simona have all played an integral part in where The Red Republic is today.

“The Red Republic is a perfect complement to Hero’s offering, and we truly provide a fully integrated agency model. We’re excited to leverage The Red Republic’s offering further through Hero’s range of clients.”

The promotions follow a positive year for The Red Republic, which has partnered with several brands including AMP Capital’s Quay Quarter precinct, Amaysim, Urbex and LSKD.
