UM has hired MediaCom's Ivo Kavelj as managing partner of investment in its Melbourne office.
Kavelj was head of implementation, planning and investment at MediaCom's Sydney office. He has previously worked in China for Vivaki Exchange and GroupM.
He will join existing UM Melbourne managing partners Alex Smith, Kim Lion and Dave Hearn on the leadership team.
“We know from local research that clients do not get top management specialisation or attention as much as they need,” UM chief executive Mat Baxter. “UM's managing partners structure is built specifically in response to this, putting the agency leads in front of the clients, with those leads having senior experience in strategic thinking, precision and speed-to-market, exactly as it's required.”
UM Melbourne recently appointed Justine Mills as digital director and Aaron Perry as group director.
