The restructuring of the consultancy will allow Anthony and Daniel to spend more time focusing on Clarity’s growth and providing their considerable expertise to WA’s leading organisations to support them in solving complex reputational and brand challenges.

“Appointing new leaders for the growing Clarity team is the right way to start our 25th anniversary because it means we are focusing on the long-term role of our agency in the business community, while we celebrate our track record,” Anthony Hasluck.

“I’m excited to welcome Anne, Hayley and Bart to the Clarity leadership team. Together we will be continuing the high levels of creativity, collaboration and advice that Clarity is known for and that will ensure the ongoing success of our business,” Daniel Carroll.
