Pollinate Expands to Brisbane and Adelaide

In Australia, research and brand strategy consultancy Pollinate has opened new offices in two state capitals, Brisbane and Adelaide.

A subsidiary of Influence Group, Pollinate offers a range of services including brand strategy, ideation and innovation, stakeholder engagement and customer experience consultancy. The new offices add to its existing operations in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra.

The Brisbane office will be led by Kate Davidson, who earlier in her career was Head of Kantar Millward Brown's qualitative practice Firefly in East Africa; while the Adelaide office is led by Morgan Owen, who has spent more than eleven years with the company in Sydney, most recently as Research Director. Influence Group CEO Henry Tajer says that having a presence in both the Queensland and South Australian markets is a big step forward for not only Pollinate but the group as a whole.

Both Davidson and Owen report to CEO Howard Parry-Husbands, who comments: 'Morgan has been at the company for a long time and his decision to move back to Adelaide after the pandemic turned into a great opportunity to double down on our research specific to clients in South Australia, as well as national clients. We're excited to welcome Kate to the team, who has a wealth of experience in research and analytics both here and overseas. We couldn't ignore the growth opportunity in Queensland, where economic growth outstrips national performance, so opening there with Kate at the helm makes a lot of sense'.
