Global live brand storytelling agency INVNT has expanded its regional leadership team with the appointments of Darren Vaughan as Director of Production, Australia, and Stephen Davey as Executive Producer.
“These appointments underscore INVNT’s continued commitment to creative excellence and operational innovation as the agency expands across the Asia-Pacific region,” the company said.
INVNT has recently delivered brand experiences for clients such as Xero, Netflix, SAP, ByteDance, as well as producing this year’s AFC Asian Cup Draw Ceremony.
Vaughan brings over three decades of experience in media and live event production, having held senior roles at Fourth Wall, Limelight Events and drv creative. He has led award-winning campaigns for major brands including Penfolds, Microsoft, Australia Post, Walt Disney Company, Toyota, and Cadbury.
His deep understanding of brand strategy, production, and client service will enhance INVNT’s creative and operational capabilities across Australia, said INVNT
Davey, appointed as Executive Producer, has delivered high-impact, large-scale event experiences, including roles in producing both live and televised events for the National Rugby League (NRL), including a decade-long creative partnership on the State of Origin series and the NRL Grand Final.
Most recently, he led the production of the 2025 NRL Grand Final in Sydney, supported by members of the INVNT team. The event featured a performance by Teddy Swims, which set new broadcast viewership records said INVNT.
These appointments coincide with the promotion of Fiona Pullen to Vice President of Production, APAC, following her tenure as Head of Production. Her elevation reflects INVNT’s focus on cultivating talent from within while maintaining best-in-class production standards as the team continues to grow.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Darren and Stephen to INVNT at such a pivotal time for our APAC operations,” said Laura Roberts, Managing Director, APAC at INVNT.
“Their leadership, experience, and creative vision will be key as we continue pushing boundaries in live brand experiences. With Fiona leading regional production, our team is stronger than ever — positioned for even greater innovation and impact.”
In the APAC region and beyond, INVNT continues to connect audiences through live brand experiences, strengthening its creative and production capabilities with the expanded leadership team.
