303 Perth’s René Migliore to step down after 14 years with agency

Perth, Australia – Australian integrated agency 303 has announced that René Migliore, managing director for Perth, will step down from his role at the end of March, concluding a 14-year association with the agency across two separate periods.

Migliore has served as managing director of 303’s Perth office since 2019, following his promotion from general manager, a position he assumed in 2017. His earlier tenure with the agency spanned from 2006 to 2013 in business management roles. He later spent four years at other agencies developing his brand and media expertise before returning to the agency when it was known as 303 MullenLowe.

During his leadership, Migliore played a key role in reshaping the Perth office’s direction, aligning it more closely with 303’s entrepreneurial foundations. The shift included broadening the agency’s capabilities beyond traditional advertising, investing in senior talent, and expanding into strategic business, media and brand-led work. The evolution coincided with the agency’s recent rebrand back to 303, reinforcing its independent positioning.

Reflecting on his time at the agency, Migliore said, “I’ve always been a strong believer in the 303 brand, our work and our incredible people. Together, we’ve worked hard to build a rich ensemble and more diverse capabilities that enables the agency to tackle a wider array of client challenges, from business strategy to brand planning to creative, media, and design solutions. This evolution has been rewarding, and an effective strategy for us in this market. I’m supremely confident and excited to see this team driving 303’s success.”

Looking ahead, he added, “The agency is in a strong position, and with an outstanding team in place 303 is perfectly geared to continue the agency’s success.”

“This agency and this industry have given me so much, and although I’m looking at taking a slight detour, I’ll remain strongly connected. I have more to give back and I’m not done with the industry just yet!”

Following Migliore’s departure, oversight of the Perth office will be shared by Chief Strategy Officer Matt Oakley and General Manager Kylie Macey. They will be supported by Attivo CEO Sue Squillace, Executive Chairman Anthony Gregorio, and the local senior leadership team.

Commenting on Migliore’s tenure, Squillace said, “As leader of the Perth business, René has dedicated himself to delivering bold creative, media, and business solutions tailored to the local market. This commitment has seen him attract a talented leadership team that will continue his legacy of collaboration and new media thinking.

“We thank him for the years he has given to this company, his mentorship within the agency and the broader industry, and his tireless advocacy of Western Australian creativity. We look forward to seeing where he will apply his passion and talent next.”

Migliore will remain with the agency until the end of March to support a smooth transition for staff and clients.

303 is part of Attivo, a marketing services group with agencies operating across Australia, New Zealand and the United States, including Mediahub, Tonic Communications, Farrimond, DNY and Hill Holliday.
