The CAB Board was pleased to welcome their newest agency representative at the last Board meeting earlier this month.

Dean joined UM in October 2008, as the Investment Director on the Australian Government account. His background has been mainly account management and investment management in a number of global media agencies in Melbourne predominantly.  He has extensive Government advertising experience, having managed the Victorian Government’s largest individual department, the Transport Accident Commission. He is passionate about social change marketing, in particular governmental marketing.  Dean also worked for Initiative for four years as the Regional Media Director on the Bunnings Warehouse account.  A role which provided excellent insight into consumer behavioural patterns across regional Australia.

Dean has stepped in to fill the recent vacancy left by Lesley Mariott. The Board wished to thank Lesley for her active and valuable contribution to the CAB in her 3 years serving as an agency representative.
