We have some bittersweet but exciting news to share: our founder Vuki Vujasinovic will be stepping down as CEO at the end of the year and James Hutchinson is taking up the helm in 2025. Vuki founded Sling & Stone in 2010 with a fresh approach to PR designed specifically for challengers and disrupters, and since then we’ve told the stories of hundreds of challengers across the world. After 14 years, he’s decided to take some well-deserved time off to spend with his (other) family. Our very own James has been promoted to CEO and will take on the role from January 1, 2025. James has been part of Sling & Stone for more than a decade, and helped grow the team from 8 to 80 people, across four countries and some of the world’s best clients. Congratulations to James and this exciting new chapter for Sling & Stone! Read more: 🔗 in comments.

Our team had the best time on the ground, supporting our partner Stripe at its Stripe Tour Sydney event last week! 👏 Every year, Stripe hosts these incredible events across key markets to unveil its latest product solutions, spotlight new users, and share market-specific momentum. This year's event was extra special in AU because we celebrated 10 years of Stripe in Australia! An event of this scale and profile took months of careful brainstorming, strategising, planning, and project management. We went all out, bringing Stripe co-founder Patrick Collison to town and securing attendance from 10 prestigious ANZ media outlets, including The Australian, The Sydney Morning Herald, Forbes Australia, The NZ Herald, and Capital Brief. 🇦🇺🥳 Truly a labour of client love, we can’t wait to see what next year will have in store! 🌟

Every year, Slingers from each market come together for our annual retro day, dedicated to gathering insights and learning from every team member. 🦀 This is when we reflect on what we loved about the past year, share valuable lessons, and brainstorm new opportunities. These insights are key in shaping our future plans, ensuring we keep growing and evolving as a team. After the retro, it’s all about team bonding through fun activities. This year, we had an awesome time with escape rooms, axe throwing, ziplining, boating, and more. 🛥️🪓 What team activities would you have liked to join?
