A successful businessman, innovator and entrepreneur, Stuart has been at the forefront of the Australian media and advertising industry for over two decades.
Stuart helped transform the media buying agency through his leadership of Mitchell and Partners, Australia’s largest and most successful media agency for ten consecutive years.

A true digital pioneer, he founded Australia’s first and highest profile digital agency, emitch, in 1999.

This led to creating Australia’s first truly integrated communications Group, Mitchell Communications Group, a locally listed entity competing successfully with the global giants of the communication industry. The Group was acquired by Aegis Communications in the UK initially, and then Dentsu Inc., the world’s largest advertising business.
