Toni Gaventa
Managing Partner
Toni has spent many years working in partnership with some of the world’s largest and most successful brands in both client and agency side roles.
Following a redundancy (the day after giving birth), Toni decided the industry needed a shake up and is now on a mission to empower and elevate women through advertising. Passionate, positive, dedicated and lots of fun to work with, Toni’s superpower is delivering stand out, female first integrated marketing campaigns whilst juggling life with two little boys.
