Universal names new lead on Unilever

Universal McCann has appointed a new client service director on its Unilever business in Australia, which the agency successfully defended in a pitch against MindShare last year.

Former Optimedia group account director Nathan Brown will now lead the business, replacing Anneliese Douglass, who has gone on maternity leave. Over his career, Brown has worked with Walker Media in London and with The Media Palace and Carat in Sydney, most recently running the Lion Nathan account at Optimedia.
