Team Lewis Australia, part of the global independent business with 25 offices worldwide, is gearing up for a significant expansion, with plans to hire 10 new employees including a head of creative and head of social.

The hiring spree is driven by recent promotions within the leadership team and new client acquisitions, including SMART Technologies and HYROX. Other clients on the list include Sophos, Emarsys and Pegasystems.

The agency is seeking individuals with strong creative and social expertise, with key roles including Head of Creative and Head of Social and a number of direct and manager-level team members sought. This move comes after the company ended its last financial year with record revenues of US$74M, with the APAC region witnessing an 82% revenue increase since 2020.

In addition to the new hires, Team Lewis Australia is also planning to increase its intern intake, with a focus on individuals from diverse or non-academic backgrounds. This approach is a departure from traditional hiring practices, reflecting the company's commitment to diversity and inclusion.

"It is thrilling to announce this period of growth and evolution for Team Lewis in Australia. We feel now is the ideal time to invest in the market, diversify and evolve our business," Martin Harkin, Managing Director, Australia, said. "We are searching for the very best talent, both locally and globally, to come join us and help grow our reputation as a relentless challenger brand capable of delivering incredible work across any audience, any channel and any market."

The company's growth is also reflected in its recent promotions and appointments. Smitha Virik has been promoted to Regional Head of Client Services, APAC, and Chris McGhee has been appointed as Director.

"It has been great to see the APAC region undergo such rapid growth across revenue, team and services since 2020. As a business we always try to stay true to re-investing into our teams and our growth, and this plan is testament to that," Keso Kendall, Senior Vice President APAC, added.

Founded in 1995, Team Lewis operates 25 offices throughout Asia, EMEA and North America, delivering creative campaigns for commercial and community causes.
