Nick Muncaster expands his current role as managing director Melbourne to also include the Sydney office, whilst Paulina Embart is promoted to general manager of Melbourne.

Matt Parry, CEO Wunderman Thompson recognises the positive impact Muncaster and Embart have had on the agency: “We have exceptional talent across the company. In their roles, Nick and Paulina have created real momentum and inspired step change growth for our clients and the Wunderman Thompson business. I can’t think of two individuals better placed to take up bigger leadership positions.

I’m humbled to be able to continue working closely with our incredible team and honoured to partner with all our wonderful clients. Being part of a business that helps ambitious brands align around purpose and make a meaningful contribution to unlock their growth potential is pretty special and I’m ready to hit go.”
