VIRGINIA
PR Account Manager
Virginia (Gin) honed her skills at creative consultancies and fashion industries in London and NYC before joining the Atticism team in 2017 as an Account Manager.
Gin works with lifestyle and hospitality clients and has a flair for creative communications and event management.
As well as managing several client accounts in our Sydney portfolio, she also provides her creative input and London-local expertise for select UK clients.
A bold red wine is the simple way to get Gin’s attention, with 100% success rate if mixed with a timely and witty pun.

Mond assists the entire Atticism team with administration, research, graphic design and the day to day running of client accounts.
Mond recently graduated from marketing and graphic design at USYD and is now well on his way to becoming a fully fledged public relations manager. Mond has already shown incredible potential and a unique flair for communications.
At home, he’s an aspiring music producer working on the exclusive Atticism office soundtrack.

Cale has worked alongside high profile brands such as TFE Hotels, Jonah’s, Radisson Hotels, Range Rover, Hungerford Hill, Taylors Wines, Wagamama, Macquarie Bank and ALH Group (just a few names you might recognise).
We love Cale’s identity designs as they are minimalistic and refined – leaving room for the our client’s persona to be seen.
NIKKI

Nikki is located in Melbourne and when she’s not managing social clients, she’s busy being the Director of Milk Bottle Projects.
Her coffee order is a skinny late, because skim milk doesn’t have too much more sugar than regular… right!?

Maggie has broad experience across the development and implementation of engaging multi-channel communications campaigns using a strong PR strategy and refined social media focus.

MORETON
Copywriter & Content Editor
After relocating from London to Australia in 2015, Moreton joined The Atticism as a copywriter and content editor.
Moreton’s ‘word-smithing’ (nope, he would not approve of that word) skills are called on to help refine, or sometimes redefine, our client’s brand image and messages.
Moreton creates unique content for editorial articles, blog posts, expert profiles and media pitches.
He also loves to correct spelling mistakes and grammatical errors.
