Australian agency DBM Consultants has hired former Nature Research exec & Innovation Leader Joel Vermaas as Executive Director, with a remit to expand its innovation offer, focusing on technology and digital sectors.
Founded in 1992 by Dhruba Gupta to provide data for financial services clients, DBM is part of the Illuminera Group and partners with Nielsen and with the ad currency initiative emma (Enhanced Media Metrics Australia). It also works for clients in utilities, telecoms and government.
