StudioSpace appoints Kiki Dunlaevy as director of client partnerships

StudioSpace, the agency marketplace revolutionising the way clients engage with creative, marketing and digital agencies, has announced the appointment of Kiki Dunlaevy as director of client partnerships.

Dunlaevy brings over 18 years of extensive experience in advertising, digital, and brand agencies in Sydney and New York, where she’s held client service and new business roles at some of the world’s most awarded agencies, including DDB, Ogilvy and R/GA.

Says Robin Scarborough, co-founder and managing director of StudioSpace: “Kiki’s track record in new business means she is very familiar with procurement, and her experience working with some of the world’s most famous brands, like Samsung, Westfield, Macquarie and Eli Lilly, makes her the perfect point of connection between our clients and our agencies. Her ability to bridge the gap between clients and agencies, coupled with her belief that independents are the future, aligns perfectly with our mission to disrupt the current agency-client dynamic.”

At StudioSpace, Dunlaevy will spearhead efforts to expand their client base, providing access to over 300 independent agencies across the full agency spectrum, all through one procurement contract. They don’t ask agencies for creative, and promise to deliver on project brief to kick-off in days, not months. Expressing her enthusiasm for disrupting the traditional agency pitch process, Dunlaevy says “The traditional agency pitch process is broken, we all know that, but no one’s really doing anything about it. I’m genuinely excited to be able to provide an alternative solution that truly addresses the needs of clients (and agencies) in Australia.”

Adds Scarborough: “Kiki’s appointment marks a significant milestone for StudioSpace. Her passion for innovation and her ability to build and nurture client relationships are precisely what we need as we focus on growth in Australia.”

StudioSpace is based in Sydney and London, with clients including Google, Jaguar Land Rover and TAL. For more information about us and how you can gain access to over 300 independents through one procurement contract, please visit the StudioSpace Website.
