When he’s hung up his Mutant hat for the day, he’s learning, meeting new people, trying new food and devouring books.

Rebecca Lewis

An experienced journalist and editor (most recently as the regional editor for a leading HR magazine), Rebecca joined the Mutant team to expand the agency’s growing HR and recruitment business.

Outside the office, you’ll find her in the gym lifting weights or at the bar lifting a cocktail to her lips.

Byravee Iyer

Managing Editor

Byravee moved to PR after almost a decade in journalism. At Mutant, she’s the resident wordsmith and is involved in top-line content marketing for a variety of clients.

When she’s not at work, Byravee is probably running behind her toddler, bumming around or binge watching network TV.

Bethany Larson Bloch

Senior Editor

With nearly ten years of editorial experience, Bethany is a word nerd who always has a red pen in her bag and delights in a robust conversation about grammar. At Mutant, she creates and fine-tunes content for an assortment of clients.

Outside Mutant’s HQ, she’s also not-so-secretly a part of local electronic trio Palty Sotato and is always on the hunt for a good cuppa Joe.

Ian Lee

Account Manager

Combing his love for technology, storytelling and languages, Ian has serviced a number of technology and consumer companies in both an agency and in-house PR roles. At Mutant, he supports Tech clients with their public relations strategies.

Outside of the office, he’s usually plugged into a podcast, got his head stuck in a book or nursing a G&T. Possibly all at the same time.

Jenny Leslie

Marketing Executive

Hailing all the way from bonnie Scotland, Jenny comes equipped with cross-industry marketing experience, first dipping her toes into Oil & Gas before diving head first into luxury retailing. With a flare for the absurd, there isn’t a project which doesn’t excite her.

Outside of Mutant, you can find her punching away at the bags, drinking copious amounts of coffee and being an overly obsessed cat owner.

Ivan Tan

Account Executive

Having cut his teeth in PR and communications across tourism and B2B verticals, Ivan joins mutant to help clients convey brand value through compelling narratives.

By day, he supports Mutant’s Tech and Corporate practice, but at heart, a die-hard radio junkie.
