Three Drunk Monkeys bolsters planning ranks
Three Drunk Monkeys has promoted Fabio Buresti to the role of executive planning director, overseeing Brand and Channel Planning following the arrival of two new hires.
Former Happy Soldiers planning partner Sophie Price has taken on a planning director role, while Mat Rawnsley, most recently a communications director at Naked, joins the group as a channel planner. Price worked on the innovative Tontine “Date Stamp” campaign proving what a great planning/creative relationship can achieve, while Rawnsley has more than 15 years’ experience both here and overseas working with clients such as Cooper’s, McDonald’s and NRMA.
Says Fabio Buresti, EPD: “Planning plays a big part in all the stuff we do, and I know kick-arse thinkers like Sophie and Mat will contribute a lot to our work in the future. Their easygoing attitude and passion to produce great ideas make them the perfect fit for our culture.”
Mark Green, managing director, adds: “Fabio is a great planner and is building a fantastic team. This change is really just a change in title. He has been doing the job for some time and I am sure he will welcome some senior additions to the team with the arrival of Sophie and Mat.”
Buresti’s previous title was Strategic Planning Director.
