RAPP managing director Robert Limb says it has been a great start to the year.

Says Limb: “Firstly with the hire of creative team Nicole Yeoman and Lucy Morgan, and now to add these three talents, all of whom share a passion for technology and customers, is exciting.

“Alex, Catherine and Shweta will help us deliver quality work solutions for newly won business and add to the innovative culture we pride our business on.”

Joining RAPP from .99, Leece is passionate about finding client solutions which combine technology and creativity to drive customer engagement. As a strong advocate of digitally integrated projects, he’s managed multi-channel work for brands including Mazda and Farmers. Now in the RAPP team, Leece will focus on Telecom client relations.

Chi joins RAPP from DraftFCB where she worked on clients including Air NZ, Vodafone and Westfield. Originally trained as a graphic designer, Chi discovered her passion for technology, coinciding with the ad industry shift toward digital. Chi’s work is now focused on interactive design and digital development and she will work across the agency’s complete client roster including Telecom, Westpac, Milford Asset Management and Fly Buys.

The third of the talented trio to join RAPP, Tomar, has spent time in advertising at Ogilvy, JWT and McCann in India and after making the move from Mumbai to New Zealand, Tomar has recently completed her post grad in business at AUT.
