MAGNET Global Independent Ad Network Goes Down Under to Bring Australia’s The Fuel Agency on Board

Pittsburgh, PA, March 06, 2012 --(PR.com)-- MAGNET Global independent agency network has boosted its resources in the South Pacific region with the addition of Australia’s The Fuel Agency, to its growing list of advertising and marketing agencies around the globe.

Fuel, an integrated firm with offices in Melbourne and Sydney, is one of the largest independent agencies in Australia, specializing in creative, marketing communications, advertising, branding, B2B, B2C, ROI measurement and media planning and placement. The firm is in the process of an acquisition to significantly increase the size of its Melbourne headquarters and sales. Key clients include Nissan, Symbion Health Care, Isuzu, Bob Jane, Diversified Exhibitions, Lion, Australian Human Resources Institute, SEEK, Cricket Victoria, Fuji Xerox, VicUrban and others.

Fuel begins every client engagement with the end in mind, focusing its efforts on successful and quantifiable outcomes, according to CEO Tim Kidman, who adds that “everything we do, every piece of creative is part of a larger plan designed to achieve the client’s business objectives.” That focus on client outcomes also led to their interest in joining MAGNET. “We have global clients that often need help in overseas markets, and we want the ability to provide that,” added Kidman. “We’re looking forward to the opportunity to exchange ideas and insights with our partners around the world.”

MAGNET Global Network Executive Director Cheri Gmiter is equally pleased to have Fuel on board. “With Asia and the South Pacific region exploding in terms of global economic impact, our members need more partners who have a true understanding and a geographic presence in the area to assist with their client needs. Fuel will only add to our bench strength in that part of the world.”
