Enigma Group – Sydney Newcastle and Brisbane has recently launched their new property and place specialist division within the Enigma group.

They have gathered 30 years of marketing and brand expertise, and given it a designated home and leader, with the appointment of Akira Galvin to the role of Head of Property and Place.

Akira joined the Enigma team in late 2022, after their long search to find a leader who was passionate, driven and experienced in all things – property, brand, campaign, digital and media.

Previously appointed Director, Strategy & Development at The Property Agency, and with six years prior as Director, Brand Experience for The Garden Agency, property is Akira’s passion. With a direct team of 20 property and placemaking professionals at her fingertips, Enigma Group has announced a fully integrated, service property specialist agency where media strategy and buying are fused with research and brand to deliver the perfect chemistry between people and place.

“Enigma has always been on my radar,” Akira said.

“From studying at the University of Newcastle, nearly 20 years ago, to my time in Sydney building brands, I’ve been watching their growth nationally with great interest.

“When I first met Enigma’s Founder, Lisa Sutton Gardner, and Managing Director Media, Justin Ladmore, I knew it was the start of something very special and truly unique.”

“I’m proud to work alongside such formidable creative visionaries; and four months in, I continue to be delighted by my decision to join and lead this truly exceptional team.”

Akira will soon be announcing two more appointments to the Property and Place team as their focus continues to be on delivering the highest quality work for our growing list of clients across developers, architects, agents, government, and hoteliers.
