Media Announcement
Sydney, 11th October 2024 — Anni, an Australian-born pioneering digital health and wellbeing community, is thrilled to announce the appointment of Laura Aldington as the Consumer & Brand Advisor to the Anni External Advisory Board.
“With Laura’s incredible experience in leadership, brand strategy and creativity, Laura is set to play a significant role in advising Anni’s consumer strategy,” says Anna Lee-Renwick, co-founder and Chief Product Officer at Anni.
“We met Laura at SXSW Sydney last year, and our relationship has become very important to Anni since then. Her strategic insights and advice will be invaluable as we continue to grow the Anni brand and service across Australia and beyond.”
Based in Sydney, Australia, Laura co-founded Supermassive, an independent creative agency that has quickly made its mark by setting a new benchmark in creating disproportionate impact for brands through robust brand strategy and non-traditional creativity. In just nine months, Supermassive was recognised as Mumbrella’s Emerging Agency of the Year (2024).
“Having partnered with Anni over the last twelve months on the development of a new brand positioning, platform and identity, it is an absolute privilege to be invited to join the advisory board and help supercharge the ambitious plans we have been co-creating to take the business to the next level. The team behind Anni are world-class, with proven track records in successfully scaling businesses, and I’m thrilled to take a place amongst them,” says Laura.
Prior to launching Supermassive, Laura held senior leadership roles across renowned agencies in the UK, USA, and Australia, including a six-year tenure as CEO at Host/Havas. Over her impressive 25-year career, she has advised some of the world’s most iconic brands, such as Coca-Cola, Nestle, P&G, the Australian Defence Force, IKEA, and Tourism Fiji, resulting in a significant body of work celebrated for its creativity and effectiveness.
Laura’s marketing leadership has garnered numerous accolades, including recognition in Adnews' Top 10 Leaders (2018), Campaign Asia's 40 Under 40 (2019), and Women to Watch (2021). She has also been featured on Mediaweek's Power 50 list (2023) and shortlisted for various industry awards, including CEO Magazine's Marketing CEO of the Year (2021) and Mumbrella's Industry Leader of the Year (2022). Additionally, Laura serves as the deputy chair of the Advertising Council of Australia's board of directors and holds a postgraduate certificate in Organisational Coaching and Leadership.
Throughout 2024, Anni has grown to 2,700+ members, with over 350 verified experts across family health, sexual health, skin health, nutrition, and holistic medicine.
Anni has been named as one of ten startup raises worth getting excited about in 2024 by SmartCompany.
