Positive change agency, Think HQ has brought on Thom Landers as Group Account Director to head up the company’s Melbourne PR team.

Reporting in to Group Head of PR & Events, Alice Suter, Thom will work with Think HQ’s comms specialists across strategy and insights, creative, production, CultureVerse (multicultural engagement specialists) and the First Nations team.

He brings more than 15 years’ PR industry experience to the team, most recently from Edelman, where he worked for six and a half years in both Sydney and Melbourne.

Thom started his career at Bang PR in Sydney, and when M&C Saatchi acquired Bang PR in 2012, he spent two years working for M&C Saatchi PR in London.

Thom said he wanted the next chapter of his career to focus on work that is purposeful and creates a positive social impact: "Think HQ is such a unique agency model and offering, its growth and trajectory are testament to the appetite more and more clients have to do some good in the world. I’m so in awe of the team’s passion, smarts, and kindness - this is going to be a fun ride!”

Think HQ Founder and Managing Director, Jen Sharpe said she is very excited to have Thom on board: "As we grow the Think HQ business addressing social impact and purpose, we are looking to add only the top operators in the industry to our team. I think Thom’s long and diverse experience will really complement the Think HQ team.

“He brings a wealth of experience in integrated brand communications and is passionate about DE&I, LGBTQIA+ visibility and advocacy, as well as creative campaigns and initiatives that are culturally relevant, high impact, effective and fun.”
