The Brand Agency welcomes back Lachy Banton and adds Jake Ransom to the creative team
The Brand Agency has welcomed senior creative duo Lachy Banton and Jake Ransom, one of WA’s most highly acclaimed and well-liked creative teams. Banton is returning to The Brand Agency after joining 303 MullenLowe in early 2022.
Banton and Ransom have been involved in a range of 303 MullenLowe’s high profile and awarded campaigns for clients such as Lotterywest, St John WA, P&N Bank and Drug Aware.
Banton said: “I have truckloads of respect for Steve Straw and Dean both professionally and personally, so when the opportunity to work under the both of them, under the same roof, presented itself there really was only one answer.”
Ransom said: “We’re really excited to be joining this talented line-up of people and getting to reunite with some familiar and friendly faces in the process.”
Dean Hunt, Executive Creative Director at The Brand Agency, said: “Lachy’s a unique thinker, a cracking writer, and a future creative leader – so to say that we are happy to have him back would be understatement. The fact that he returns with Jake as a partner, whose design and art directional skills we’ve always admired and respected, is an absolute bonus. Looking forward to seeing them thrive.”

Lachy and Jake are great.
But, Brand also made 2 creative teams redundant a week ago.
Who?
Absolute legends
Don’t leave…
What a handsome bunch of gentlemen. All the best fellas 🙂
Go well, J&L 👏🏼
Is hiring a creative duo while making two creatives redundant, all in the same month.
Welcome back my Aqua Moc Lach <3
Sad for the retrenchments but The Brand needs a big injection of creative talent as they have nothing to show from the past 12 months and are getting their arse kicked by Wildlings and to a lesser extent 303ML.
When Wildings start doing great work for clients other than charities, you might have a point.
well that took a turn…anyway, welcome beautiful boys
I’m not sure TBA would be giving a crap about Wildlings. Look at the Tourism shortlist – that’s who’ll be keeping Steve up at night. Wildlings are harmless.
Tall poppy syndrome much? Trying to minimise the success of an agency doing good things – very on brand for Perth.
Congrats, Lachy and Jake!
Great news for Lachy and Jake but bad move to announce this after making multiple staff redundant, including 2 x creatives
The Brand would have had good reasons and respectful conversations with those involved regarding the moves. New adventure for the 2 who have left, and shine bright to Jake and the return of Lachy!
No pressure then.
