Fiftyfive5 Continues Rapid Growth

Australian-based insights consultancy Fiftyfive5 has added (yes) five new consultants to its team in response to what it calls 'a continued increase in demand' for its strategic consulting services.

The five include Linley Barden, who joins from Pollinate with experience in strategic research management; former Pernod Ricard exec Bill Guo, whose ten plus years of experience in strategic consulting cover both agency and client-side; and former TLE Singapore Consultant Elodie Myers.

Partner Darren Kemp says the most important requirement of clients is the delivery of 'commercially pragmatic solutions that drive real change', and adds: 'It's our capability in this space that has driven Fiftyfive5's revenue growth of 86% year on year.' He continues: 'We have been able to attract excellent consulting talent to enable us to grow the business. By Fiftyfive5's third birthday this month, we'll have a team of 30 delivering major strategic projects in Australia, NZ, Asia, Europe and the Americas'.

The company also has a New Zealand office, led by former Truth director Richard Hall, and last autumn appointed former Added Value Managing Director Mel Carey as a Director.
