Our Team

ASH-LEA

Operations Manager

Ash-lea joined The Atticism in 2015 as an EA to the Director,  before working her way up to the role of PR account manager in no time.

Taking a break from Australia, Ash-lea moved to Mexico and became fluent in Spanish, all whilst running an online social media company.   Ash-lea then returned to Australia, armed with a fresh eye for globalised communications strategies.

Ash-lea is now again working with The Atticism team as Operations Manager and manages client allocation, on boarding and team structure. She also ensures we all stay well hydrated at ’Thursday Frothie’ meetings in the downstairs brewery.

ALICE

PR Account Manager

Alice started her PR career at a leading communications agency in London before moving home to Australia several years ago.

Now an experienced PR Account Manager, Alice prides herself on her time management and ability to prioritise an array of different tasks each day. Alice is driven by achieving results for The Atticism’s clients and regularly receives commendation for her professional and effective approach.

An Inner West local, Alice loves running and has a slight obsession with snacking on apples. She shares them with the office, so we don’t mind!

EMMA

PR Account Manager

Emma has worked in the Sydney PR industry for over six years across lifestyle, hospitality, sport, fashion and beauty.

Emma takes a very strategic approach to PR and is well known for her clever concepts and structured methodologies, ensuring her client accounts have both short and long term concepts for brand longevity.

Emma also holds a Bachelor of Psychological Sciences and in her spare time, practices a LOT of Jivamukti yoga.  On weekends, you’ll find her wandering around the local farmers market, or at home with a cup of tea and a good book.

CALE

XUCK Design

Cale is the owner of XUCK Design and a firm favourite of The Atticism team.  Cale shares our office space and assists us with our external presentations, client re-brands, event invitations and random design stuff we are too useless to do on our own.

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.

enzo

Junior Account Manager

Enzo is currently studying a Bachelor of Communications (Public Communications) at University, whilst also working part time at The Atticism where he assists our account managers with client research, account admin and day to day tasks around office.

Whilst he’s known for being a tad bit ‘extra’ and can often be found applying moisturiser at his desk, Enzo loves classic Italian food and cannot pass up a good lasagne.

KRISTEN

Snr Content Manager

Kristen has been a freelance writer and editor since 2010, following an interesting (but ultimately unsatisfactory) career as a finance lawyer in NYC and Sydney.

Kristen is experienced with all things written and her work has been published in newspapers, magazines, and online media channels across Australia and the United States. She loves working with The Atticism to create bespoke, brand-savvy content that ranges from websites to case studies and all the words in between.

A native Californian, she now spends her time in sunny Brisbane. Most days you can find her madly typing on her iMac, pottering in the garden and eating veggie tacos.

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.
