Says Toby Barbour, CEO, Starcom Australia: “Peter has been a loyal and valued leader of our Melbourne office and we have worked closely for several years. On behalf of Starcom’s staff and clients, we would like to offer our sincere thanks to Peter for his commitment and leadership and wish him all the very best for the future as he seeks new opportunities.”

Says Toone: “I have enjoyed an amazing 11 years with Starcom and have had the pleasure of working with some of the brightest people and most innovative clients in the country. The agency has grown and evolved enormously and I leave the business knowing it will continue to thrive moving forward. The time is right for me to move on and explore new opportunities in my career.”

Toone will be replaced as managing director and a search is currently underway.
