Brand inc opens third branch, Joburg MD relocates

Chris Heaton

Brand inc has opened its third branch on 1 October 2011 in Durban. Johannesburg-based MD Chris Heaton will be relocating to co-manage its newest blue-chip brand Shield and Vaseline's sponsorship for the Springboks. He will expand his day-to-day duties to undertake the role of national MD, overseeing all agency operations and accounts within all three of the branches. Unilever requested that the agency's management working on its relevant brands be on the ground, which is one of the key factors when deciding to open the branch.
