Angela Palandri joins Block as General Manager

Former 303Lowe operations manager Angela Palandri is joining Block Branding in the role of general manager. Palandri will take over the day-to-day running of the agency from managing director Tanya Sim who, having Co-Founded the agency 13 years ago with partner and creative director Mark Braddock, is looking to become less involved in the management of the agency.

“I have been looking to take a less direct management role in Block for a while now, but finding the right person to hand my ‘baby’ over to has taken time and has not been something that Mark or I have wanted to rush into,” said Sim, “In Angela we feel we have found someone who is brilliantly equipped to take Block confidently into the future. I am very happy and proud to be able to sit on the board and take a more hands-off approach knowing that we have an amazing leader in the GM role.”

Palandri joins Block most recently from Auscript Australasia but is known to the communications industry in WA for the five years she spent as operations manager at 303Lowe. She brings to Block extensive experience in building and guiding SMEs to reach their potential.

“Without doubt, Block are the preeminent agency working in the field of strategic branding and communications in WA right now” says Palandri. “Tanya and Mark have built a remarkable business and in the process stayed true to their vision of how strategic thinking and creative excellence can add significant value to clients and their brands”

“I am, therefore, both flattered and incredibly excited at having been offered the opportunity to work with such a talented and genuine group of people as the Block team. I am looking forward to working with them and exploring new areas of growth as we move the agency forward whilst retaining the cultural and creative values that make Block truly unique”
