Akcelo-Brand-Experience-Melbourne-Expansion

Melbourne, Australia – Following local and national demand for their services, brand experience company Akcelo has appointed former managing partner at agency VMLY&R Melbourne Jon Kenyon as the company’s managing director for Melbourne, following the company’s extension to the city.

Akcelo, which was founded by former VMLY&R ANZ CEO Aden Hepburn, has won multiple clients and made a string of hires with further appointments and announcements to be made over the coming months as it continues to build out its full-service offering in Melbourne.

Kenyon joins Akcelo from VMLY&R Melbourne where he was managing partner at the WPP-owned business, driving the resurgence of one of the most famous advertising agencies in Australia with award winning work and exponential growth.

“Akcelo is delivering transformative brand experiences across the entire customer journey that is truly market-leading. I am super thrilled to be leading this office and join a rapidly growing and talented team of more than 80 ‘Akcelerators’ as we continue to push the boundaries for our partners,” Kenyon said, regarding his appointment.

Meanwhile, Hepburn commented that expanding the company nationally has always been in the company plan and they are thrilled to offer further borderless capability to their client partners as they grow.

“Jon brings strong leadership and inspirational business thinking to Akcelo and builds deep, effective relationships with clients and has an eye for brilliant work. With so many leading Australian businesses in Melbourne looking to deliver more holistic brand experiences for their customers, we’re excited Jon is taking the reins to spearhead our offering as we continue to build a world-class team focused on creating work that really shifts the needle,” he stated.
