Val Morgan Digital Expands Team With Four New Hires

Val Morgan Digital (VMD) has hired four new team members with Alyce Thomas and Claudia Pearce joining as Agency Partnership Managers, Nicola Laing as Strategy & Content Manager and Jack Revell taking on the role of Branded Content & Weekend Editor of TheLatch—.

The expansion follows consistent month on month growth at TheLatch—, which reaches 400,000 monthly viewers after launching just six months ago.

“With consistent month on month growth, we’re carving out a solid space in market, with thought-provoking content that helps our audience dig deeper on issues like sustainability and mental health. We’ve learnt a lot from our readers over the past six months, with those learnings driving some exciting brand developments at the end of this year. Watch this space,” said Amanda Bardas, Executive Editor of VMD said.

As a freelance writer, Jack Revell (bottom left, pictured) has covered arts, culture, and politics for SBS Voices, VICE, Rolling Stone, Pedestrian.TV, Crikey and The Urban List. He also features on a weekly radio program for 3CR on drug policy and reform.

“I am very much looking forward to being part of TheLatch—, bringing to life its branded content offering, and helping readers learn more about issues like cannabis reform,” Revell said.

Alyce Thomas (top left, pictured) also has extensive online media experience, having worked in sales for Are Media (formerly Bauer Media) and as a digital account manager at The Urban List.

Joining VMD from Time Out, Claudia Pearce (top right, pictured) has worked across a variety of publications and brands, building partnerships with both top tier clients and media agencies.

“I take a collaborative approach to my work, ensuring advertising opportunities are aligned with brands and businesses, and always strive to build long-term relationships across each project. Being creative, curious and innovative, I push the boundaries and step outside of the box to deliver the best solution for my clients,” Pearce said.

Rounding out the team is Nicola Laing (bottom right, pictured) who joins VMD following a strategy and response manager role at Pedestrian Group.

“It’s an incredibly exciting time for Val Morgan Digital as we grow our cross-platform solutions. We’re delighted to round out the team with these hires and look forward to further collaboration across the Val Morgan Group, and continued success in driving the business forward,” said Adam Fischer, Commercial Director of VMD.

“I am extremely proud of the tenacity shown by the digital sales and editorial team this year. Under Adam and Amanda’s leadership, they have navigated unprecedented challenges, and have evolved our digital arm from ‘new kid on the block’ to a sophisticated and legitimate digital offering.

“In turn, we continue to attract phenomenal talent to our expanding business. Alyce, Claudia, Nicola and Jack each bring their own set of skills to their roles which will be valuable assets in helping us continue to grow VMD,” said Brian Florido, Managing Director of VMD.
