Wellington indie agency Hemisphere has expanded its creative and strategic capabilities with the addition of Ariana Storey and Sean Barker.
Managing Director Dr Tim Antric says he is excited to expand the leadership team with the pair as “[t]hey bring high levels of creativity, critical thinking, and a passion for behaviour change”.
“Hemisphere continues to strengthen our position as a strategic agency, a creative agency, a digital agency and a media agency — all rolled into one.”
Ariana Storey (Te Whakatōhea, Tūwharetoa), is a connection strategist and relationship manager with 25 years in the industry developing tactical content. Ariana’s blend of comms expertise and lived experience work to enable organisations and their people to connect in often challenging environments. Storey’s Hemisphere edge as an industrial psychology student builds on her appetite for influencing positive, community thought shifts.
Storey has held senior communication roles with Philips Search and Rescue Trust, Craigs Investment Partners, National Fieldays, Perry Group and The Waikato Times.
Sean Barker is a creative hybrid, and a talented and skilled communicator who thrives on his ability to turn the complex into the easy and meaningful — with substantial experience across all marketing disciplines.
During an extensive career, Barker has developed successful brands, advertising campaigns, and more, both in Aotearoa and overseas. He has held senior creative marketing and communication roles with Te Ao Rangahau, Nationwide Building Society, SB Marketing, Hothouse Communications, Clear Channel International, and Newsquest Media.
