19 May 2025

We’re excited to launch our new 'Meet Our Team' series — a behind-the-scenes look at the talented people at Ryvalmedia, as they share what they do, what inspires them, and what media trends they're keeping an eye on!
We talk to Chris Piccolo.

As a Business Coordinator, my role is diverse and keeps me on my toes! My key responsibilities include building and managing digital campaigns, communicating with clients, and contributing valuable data analysis and reporting to the team. Itโs great working with Oliver Hempsall and James Hutchison across our patch, and I love helping to build relationships with our clients!

I've really loved watching the St Hugo Enchantรฉ Rosรฉ campaign featuring Daniel Ricciardo unfold. For me, what really resonated was the brilliant brand alignment and clear strategy theyโve implemented, as well as the use of organic, digital and ATL media in harmony.
Partnering with someone like Daniel โ who is such a well-liked Aussie figure with incredibly broad appeal โ felt like such an authentic way to connect the brand with people in a memorable way. Iโm not normally a rosรฉ drinker, but I might pick one up next time Iโm at Dan Murphyโs!

I love the social aspect of the agency life - Iโve met so many people from different backgrounds and industries! We have clients ranging from retail/ecomm, to live entertainment, to the racing industry! This means weโre always having to think outside the box on how to provide the best possible outcomes for our clients.
We're also consistently communicating with publishers to stay up to date on the best options available to us! Communication is key in media!

My partner and I have recently finished the latest season of Severance on Apple TV - itโs been a wild ride so far and I canโt wait for season 3! Otherwise Iโve been diving into some history podcasts for my journey to and from work lately - Iโve never really been much of a podcast listener, but Iโve jumped on the bandwagon now!

Iโm interested to see how the population interacts with streaming networks in the coming months. Weโre seeing far more people opt into partially paid streaming services that also include ads to reduce their monthly subscription, and with more great shows across the networks, I expect to see some extra opportunities for advertisers to get great engagement through highly specific audiences!

If youโre in the CBD, I canโt go past Captains of Industry just off Elizabeth St near Bourke St Mall.ย Not only excellent coffee, but it has a gorgeous old-school aesthetic and is the main focus of a co-working space with a bespoke leather-worker on the same floor!
