Luke Maher returns from the UK for head of media role at cummins&partners

Luke Maher joins cummins&partners this week after returning from a four year stint in the UK, most recently as the UK media lead for the WPP | Ford full-service offering.

Maher joins cummins&partners at an exciting time of growth and rebuild where the focus is combining the power of an integrated creative and media offering to clients.

Says Sophie Lander, national managing director, cummins&partners: “We are thrilled to have Luke join our team at a pivotal time in the agency as we are resetting and strengthening our integrated media and creative offering, in line with our new positioning.

“Luke’s unique skill set of being able to lead creative and media integrated clients will be critical to our clients and our teams success.”

Says Michael McConville, global CEO, cummins&partners: “Luke immediately stood out to us as someone who can not only offer innovative thinking in a collaborative and integrated way, but felt like the missing piece to our team as we embed our new positioning and operationalise how we enable and facilitate our clients to ‘Grow Wildly’.”

Says Maher: “I’m super excited to be joining a cummins&partners team that is strengthening their integrated offering at a time when clients are needing it the most. I’ve always been a big believer that creativity is the biggest unlock in media – the problem is the majority of media planners don’t consider the creative at all. I can’t wait to get started.”

Maher will work across all media only and integrated accounts and will start in our Melbourne office this week.
