Hero is the name of the tech platform that has brought all of Lilley’s agencies together, in a move to streamline the client services activities and internal processes between agencies to offer an integrated service mix. It is also the new name appointed to the agency network, that began with Lilley’s acquisition of McCann Worldgroup Australia (including Smart and The Red Republic) in February.
