Social media marketing agency Hello Social has brought three key new faces to its team, hiring Joshua Tan (right) as campaign director, Alexandra Lawson (centre) as PR and senior influencer marketing manager, and Sam Rix (left) as client services manager.

With over eight years in advertising, Tan joins Hello Social as director of campaigns from Ogilvy Australia. In his previous role as senior social media manager/creative, he has worked on brands such as IBM, Optus Business, KFC, Amex, and Coca-Cola. His expertise spreads far, and his project leadership ability will continue to push Hello Social to the peak of the industry.

Lawson has over six years experience in public relations, events, influencer marketing, and social media. During her time at N2N Communications, she worked on some of the world’s most disruptive and innovative brands, including Uber, American Express, KAYAK, NBN Co, Smartraveller and Department of Communications, so she brings a wealth of experience in making brands stand out.

Rix has prospered in the digital marketing and sales realm for seven years. He has worked in the Fox Sports digital marketing team, as well as with sports agency 20FOUR. Besides working with some of Australia’s most well-regarded athletes, Rix has also collaborated with brands including Netflix, FOXTEL and Reece.

Says Max Doyle, founder and managing director, Hello Social: “Annual social media marketing budgets are significantly increasing year on year. We wanted to build a team specifically dedicated to delivering top-tier campaigns.

“Using a mix of creative strategies, influencer marketing, production, and paid media, Hello Social is now well positioned to implement some of the largest social media campaigns in the country.”

The agency specialises in growing brands and connecting companies with their target audiences offering strategy consultation, full social media management, targeted advertising, content creation, including blog post writing and influencer marketing campaigns.
