Independent strategic design agency, Disegno, welcomes Aaron Turner as partner alongside founders Marino Di Camillo and Alan Jane.

Turner was previously general manager, and then went on to take the position of Head of Strategy and Client Partnerships to work more closely with clients in identifying and realising strategic and creative brand opportunities.

Managing director, Alan Jane said, “I'm so proud of the client list we've developed, the calibre of the team we've built, our culture and the work we're producing. It's truly the most exciting time of Disegno's nearly thirty year history, and Aaronr has played a significant role in that.”

Founded in 1995, Disegno has helped worked alongside some of Australia's most recognisable brands including Bega, Vegemite, Aldi, Darrell Lea, Don Smallgoods, Sirena Tuna, Rosella and Leggo's. The company points out the name Disegno is actually a tribute to the brand language it created for its foundation client: “Authentico. Classico. Delicioso.”

Turner said, “We're in the business of helping clients navigate critical brand change. We do this with relentless creative energy and our collaborative approach is defining our difference. From market-leaders to challengers and new brands, our clients are realising truly authentic and effective solutions that are differentiated and distinctive in their categories.”

The Senate Economics Committee has rejected the Food Donations Bill that proposed a tax offset for companies donating excess food to food relief agencies rather than dumping it. While the bill had the potential to deliver the equivalent of 100 million meals to food relief organisations, the committee said it had “serious concerns” including the bill’s “generous” tax concessions. Food relief agencies and social welfare organisations have questioned the committee’s decision to reject the bill outright rather than make recommendations for amendments.  

The winners of the 62nd annual Australian Export Awards were announced in Canberra yesterday, featuring three winners from the food sector – including dessert manufacturer Frosty Boy Global, in the Agribusiness, Food and Beverages category.
