Savi has been a key player in Melbourne’s marketing, brand and communications industry for over 20 years, more recently expanding its footprint to southeast Queensland and Sydney markets, strengthening Savi’s position as a credible, innovative and impactful agency partner. .

Wood brings not only extensive sales experience but also a proven ability to foster strong client relationships and dynamic team cultures, qualities that will be central to driving Savi’s next phase of growth.

Wood said he was looking forward to stepping into the newly created role, leveraging his commercial acumen and sales expertise to further build on Savi’s reputation as a credible, innovative and impactful agency partner: “I’ve been fortunate enough to work closely with Michelle and the team at Savi in the past and have seen firsthand the commitment the team brings  to its growing client base. It’s an incredible asset to have and I am very much looking forward to showcasing that to potential clients in Australia and abroad.”
