“Brendon has a wealth of experience, both client and agency side, and a credible, unique point of view around how we can design and deliver a meaningful impact on a business as a proven partner.
“The past 12 months have seen us grow and transform some of Australia’s most loved brands in the ecommerce space. With Brendon joining the team, our clients will immediately reap the benefits of his proven experience as they continue their ecommerce journey,” she added.
Peters will work closely with clients to collaboratively solve complex business challenges and transform their ecommerce strategies to deliver tangible results, including driving incremental revenue.

“By putting the customer first, we are creating superior customer experiences across all our clients’ channels – helping them achieve targets, but also helping them understand their business needs to scale,” he added.
Havas Market is a tailored iteration of the global Havas e-commerce offering designed for the needs of the Australian market.
