CHEP Network has announced the appointment of Nick Zonnios director of PR for the agency.
Zonnios joins from Clemenger BBDO where he was general manager. He also established and led the Clemenger PR team for the past five years.
In the new role with CHEP, he will oversee the growth and development of the company’s PR on a national scale.
Throughout his career, Zonnios has worked across clients including ANZ, Barbie, Carlton & United Breweries, Doritos, Flybuys, Officeworks, Origin Energy, Telstra and more.
He has led comms on a range of locally and internationally awarded campaigns including helping ANZ transform into GAYNZ in support of the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras, launching VB Tea to hijack the Ashes series, helping Melbourne’s economic and cultural recovery through Let’s Melbourne Again, launching the world’s first peer-to-beer energy program with VB’s Solar Exchange, and most recently, supported 7-Eleven’s first foray into the world of beauty with the launch of its coffee body scrub.
Justin Hind, CEO CHEP Network, said: “Nick is a highly accomplished communications professional and we’re overjoyed that he has made the decision to join CHEP.
“We’re excited to see Nick grow the team and take our offering to a new level,” Hind added.
Zonnios said of his appointment: “The CHEP team are a brilliant bunch – they’re talented, nice and overwhelmingly intelligent.
“I’m looking forward to contributing to the culture, work and ongoing success of the business and its clients as they continue to go from strength to strength,” Zonnios added.
In February, CHE Proximity announced its rebrand to CHEP Network.
The change has been a catalyst for the company to “reimagine” the business around a new economy and develop a new model to ensure creativity, media, technology, and data is at the centre of their client’s growth following the Covid Pandemic.
Hind said of the rebrand: “The past two years have brought irreversible change to the way we work, shop, socialise, exercise and live life every day.
“That change has been a catalyst for us to reimagine our business around the new economy, and the development of a new agency model that will ensure creativity, media, technology, and data is at the heart of supporting our clients’ continued growth, no matter the challenge or channel,” Hind added.
