Jon Steel, one of the most widely respected planners in advertising, has taken on a consultancy role at independent Perth agency Meerkats.

The appointment will not mean Steel will leave GPY&R, where he is vice chairman and chief strategy officer, and he will spend around three days a month with Meerkats.

Jason Buckley, GPY&R’s COO, told Mumbrella: “Like all large agency networks, we have relationships that extend to various markets and cities. We have an agreement where Meerkats can assist GPY&R in Perth as and when needed.”
