As part of his remit Braaksma will lead key client accounts for Landor Melbourne including BP, Saputo Dairy Australia and The Royal Agriculture Society of Victoria and more, whilst continuing to have an active consulting role on flagship Sydney clients as required.

Jessica Murphy, Landor Melbourne’s general manager said she was delighted to welcome Eeke to the agency’s leadership team, expanding Landor’s offering for its clients: “Eeke has a proven track record, building strong client partnerships and creating engaging brand experiences. With experience gained from working across the automotive, hospitality, FMCG, financial services and retail sector, Eeke’s appointment puts our team in an excellent position to pursue organic growth and new business opportunities. I am excited about the agency’s future potential.”
