Respected marketing and recruitment veteran Priya Bala has been
promoted as Regional Director to lead the firm's Asia-Pacific expansion, whilst branding and
communications specialist Megan Savory takes on the role of New
Zealand Country Manager.
As Regional Director, Bala – who has more than two decades'
experience in the sector – will spearhead font's business growth
and development, managing key accounts, and overseeing marketing
and branding strategies. Bala is also focused on hiring experts in
marketing, digital and creative sectors to fill recruiter roles at

These creative industry experts-turned-recruiters are proven to
deliver stronger results for clients, thanks to a deeper, hands-on
understanding of the roles they are hiring for. font's offices in
Singapore, Malaysia, Hong
Kong and New Zealand have
already started bolstering such teams.
"Priya and Megan are ideal choices for font's leadership bench
based on their industry experience and management know-how," says
Jacqui Barratt, director of font. "font today has knowledgeable
talent agents who can find the best talent and share insights with
candidates and organisations, based on their own experiences in the
marketing, digital and creative industry."
Previously, Bala served as Country Manager of font Malaysia, where she tripled the size of the
business and enabled 50 per cent team growth in less than two
years. Her responsibilities now extend to the management of font's
Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia teams.
"font sits at an exciting inflection point where our regional
teams of knowledgeable and passionate consultants are ready to
place even more talent in the best roles," says Bala. "I'm thrilled
to drive font's business growth and regional expansion in
2015."
In New Zealand, Megan Savory is another important addition to
font's growing team. With 15 years of industry and management
experience, Savory will be in charge of font New Zealand's business growth, key client
relationships and the hiring and development of the internal
team.
Previously Savory has executed branding campaigns and developed
content for several global brands including Caltex, Delo and
Havoline in international markets at New
Zealand firm Radiation.
Since its establishment in April
2013, font has expanded to become one of the top talent
agencies in the region – the company has grown by close to 50 per
cent in revenue and doubled the size of its Asia-Pacific teams. font is exploring
expansion into new markets in 2015 and focusing on the increasing
call from agencies to fill freelance roles in the region.
