Marmalade executive creative director and co-founder Neil Mallet set to depart agency
Neil Mallet, executive creative director and founding partner of Marmalade, is set to depart the communications agency over the next few months.
The company he started 12 years ago, with managing director Victor Maree, has maintained a strong independent and creative profile in the Melbourne market, and according to Mallet, ‘Will continue to be a smart operation with some very skilled and likeable people involved.
Says Mallet: “I have been fortunate enough to be part of a highly successful agency start-up. Over the last 12 years the business has grown from two staff, one phone and no clients, to what I think is one of the most well-rounded, creatively focussed, independent shops in the country.
Our work over recent times has also been some of our best, which also makes it feel like a great time to exit.”
Recently, the agency has had work recognised at Cannes, Clio Healthcare, Caples Awards, W3, One Show Interactive and Globals.
Says Mallet: “I have enjoyed the company of some outstanding clients and staff and no doubt, this is what I will miss the most. But after 12 great years, I feel the need to do something different.”
Mallet plans to take some time off, before pursuing other business interests.
Says Mallet: “Growing up in Queensland and now resident in Victoria, I need to dedicate my immediate future to understanding the complexities of Auskick.”

Best of luck Neil. Great innings
Good luck sledge – look us up if you are ever in sydney.
Good luck Sledge. Hope to see you around.
having been with you in your front room you deserve it!
you need to kick the ball with the laces up
Good luck Sledge, Although I reckon you should rethink the Aus kick and get the kid back to BrisVegas to play his first game of league. We’ll be needing some new recruits for the Mighty Maroons. xx
Good Luck Neil. All the best.
Now would be a good time to come back to Brisbane, Sledge. Most of the pubs and restaurants have changed hands over the past 12 years, so you’ll be fine. (Although I’d still steer clear of the Enjoy Inn. Same management – long memories.)
