In-house agency consultancy -lution has partnered with Talent Run to launch '-lution Recruitment powered by Talent Run', dedicated to sourcing creative, production and media talent for internal marketing teams.
Focused exclusively on in-house agency recruitment, the division is powered by a partnership with Talent Run founder Amy Lee.
“This is a natural evolution for -lution. We’ve been helping clients build in-house teams for years, and increasingly, they’ve asked us to help find the right talent too,” said –lution partner Nick Thomas.
“Internal recruitment teams are often strong on general capability but less equipped to assess creative or media skills.
“That’s where we offer a different perspective and deeper level of expertise, building on our knowledge of how the best in-house agencies function.
“To do this well takes specific experience, which is why we began working with Amy.
“She’s the go-to recruiter for creative and production talent, has already been supporting some of our client partners, and brings a level of insight the industry trusts.”
-lution has built in-house agency teams for brands including 7-Eleven, Honda, MYOB and Treasury Wine Estates.
-lution Recruitment is currently working with 7-Eleven to establish an internal creative function.
Lee brings more than 15 years in account service roles at agencies including George Patts, Ogilvy and Big Red.
She also spent 7 years as the Victorian state manager at Advertising Council Australia.
She built Talent Run into a recruitment partner for both in-house and external agencies, specialising in creative, strategy, account service and production roles.
Lee and Talent Run will continue to recruit into external agencies independently, alongside this partnership.
“The best in-house teams are built around people who bring not just skills, but energy and empathy,” Lee said.
“That’s always been Talent Run’s sweet spot. What excites me about working with -lution is their deep understanding of how in-house agencies operate – the structure, the culture, the pace and the pressure.
“Together, we can shape teams that are ready from day one.”
