BlueArc Appoints Paul Curtain as Business Director, Victoria

The BlueArc Group, one of Australia’s foremost digital technology agencies, today announces the appointment of Paul Curtain to the newly created role of Business Director  - Victoria.

Curtain is a highly skilled digital, interactive and broadcast media executive with 15 years’ experience in the communications and emerging technology sectors servicing Australian and international clients.  He was previously Business Development Manager and head of Client Services at Boffswana and prior to that he held Executive Producer and Head of Production roles at Baby Lemonade.

Scott Porter, BlueArc CEO, said: “The appointment of someone of Paul Curtain’s calibre will ensure the continuation of the highest levels of service to our growing number of Victorian-headquartered clients.  Paul is known as an innovative thinker with strong business development and negotiation skills. We’re very excited to have him on board.”

BlueArc’s Victorian customer base includes the recently won Mirvac Hotels & Resorts and Australian Unity; long term clients include Village Roadshow, Sensis and REA Group; and a number of local councils, including Stonnington and City of Yarra.

Both the Mirvac and Australian Unity deals were competitive bids, with both websites to be built on the Sitecore web content management system (CMS). Porter said: “Our success with these two companies was due to our deep technical expertise, a large local development team, and the backing of unmatched service from knowledgeable professionals. I know Paul will add to this already strong base.”
