Murmur has announced the appointment of three new key hires to its senior leadership team to support the agency’s growth.
Joining the independent media agency is Rob Hawkins as client service director, Tara DeLuccia as operations director, and Vatsal Prasad as performance marketing director, with a media director set to join soon.
The agency, founded in 2016 by managing director Dave Levett, works with clients like Lululemon, Sushi Hub, Contour Clinics, Western Sydney Wanderers FC and more. These recent appointments come as Murmur expands to meet the demands of its growing client base.
“Bringing together such an experienced leadership team is a defining moment for Murmur,” Levett said. “The agency has reached a point where we need strong leaders to help drive our continued expansion and ensure we remain agile, results-driven, and client-focused. This new structure will allow us to better serve our clients and continue to grow in a competitive market.”
DeLuccia, previously head of project management at UM Australia, joins as operations director. With over 12 years of experience in operations and project management, she is tasked with optimising Murmur’s internal processes and enhancing efficiency.
“I’m excited to bring my experience from larger agencies to streamline Murmur’s operations and support its continued growth,” DeLuccia said. “It’s a pivotal time for the business, and I’m looking forward to playing my part in shaping its future.”
Hawkins, formerly with Publicis Groupe and Dentsu, brings 15 years of marketing experience to his new role as client service director. He will focus on strengthening client relationships and expanding Murmur’s service offerings.
“I’m excited to really get under the hood of our clients’ businesses and find new ways to help them grow. It’s a fantastic opportunity to work with some evolving brands and take our service offering up a notch for both new and existing clients,” explained Hawkins.
Prasad, an expert in digital marketing with a decade of experience in the independent agency sector, joins as performance marketing director. His passion for data-driven solutions will help Murmur deliver measurable outcomes for its clients.
He added: “I view data as a story waiting to be told, and I’m eager to apply that approach to drive meaningful commercial growth for both Murmur and our clients. My focus will be on leveraging eCommerce strategies and using data insights to solve complex challenges and deliver results.”
With a media director set to join the team soon, Murmur’s leadership group is poised to strengthen its offerings and expand its reach across the media landscape.
Levett added: “Our team has never been this strong. This is about setting Murmur up for the future as we continue to grow and push the boundaries of what we can achieve for our clients.”
