The taste of candy too hard to resist

15th February, 2007

Matt Coleborne has joined us as Operations Manager responsible for the day-to-day running of Eye Candy and its projects ensuring a smooth production process and a great end product for our clients. He is a highly skilled manager and comes to Eye Candy from leading communications agency ZOO where he was responsible for one of ZOO’s largest clients, the Land Development Agency (LDA).

“Having Matt join our management team allows Rachael and I to concentrate on doing great creative work for our clients without having to worry about running the business also. Over the last 12 months we’ve spent a lot of time in refining our internal systems and processes to better manage our business, people and deliverables for our projects. Matt will have a key role in this going forward and our clients will be able to get the maximum value from their investment with us.” Founding partner and Creative Director Damian Stocks says.

Matt’s strengths are in managing client relationships, agency and production processes, strategic communication marketing and brand management. He was instrumental in the development of LDA’s flagship campaigns for Wells Station, Ginninderra Ridge, Kingston Foreshore, Gungahlin Town Centre, Hillside, Bridgewater, Jenolan House, Brindabellas Bonython, First Edition, Kingston Foreshore, Metros, the Corporate brand and a number of commercial releases including Epicentre at Fyshwick. LDA had excellent results with their brand awareness and sales campaigns with demand for products far exceeding supply. LDA attributed most of this outstanding success to ZOO’s marketing campaigns.

Over three and half years at ZOO he also managed a number of key projects for Australian Pharmacy Group, Goodwin Aged Care Services, Snowy Hydro South Care helicopter, Defence Housing Australia, SupaBarn, Woden Plaza, Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI), Australian Bureau of Statistics, Department of Defence – Environment & Heritage, Department of Immigration Multicultural & Indigenous Affairs, Magnet Mart, Academy Nightclub and Lease Plan.

“Matt has been with us over 3 years and has done a superb job in managing a number of clients, notably LDA who he has helped nurture & grow since day one… It is with a sense of sadness I announce that he is stepping away from his current role and into a new and exciting challenge with Eye Candy.” ZOO Partner and Client Service Director, Ashley Morgan said.

Matt holds a Bachelor of Communications and a Masters Degree in Marketing Communication. Prior to ZOO, Matt worked for five years on a range of communication projects for high profile organisations including BBC London, the NRL, Foster’s Group, Perisher Blue Ski Resort, Fox Sports, the PGA Tour and Centrelink. He will commence with Eye Candy in a transitional capacity in March before taking up his role full time in April.
