Marlon "Train" Forrester 

Managing Director & Head of Client Services 

In a world of consumerism fuelled by the next big concept, the next it guy, girl or product, Train, has assembled a team with over 75 years’ experience - poised to plan it, prepare it, write it, film it, produce, present and ultimately SELL it… for you. 

As a writer, "Train" as he is known, began his career in short copy for his University paper before graduating to policy writing and soon after became a published social commentator and writer with the Education Department.  A 16-year stint in corporate affairs working with the media and leading marketing initiatives across the FMCG landscape followed.  All the while Train was creating compelling copy across fields as diverse as marketing, entertainment, comedy, sports, music and training & development.  

A sought-after speaker and presenter, Train lends a sharp wit and a touch of irreverence to speeches, presentations and pitches turning every engagement into an occasion to remember.  In addition, Train’s music & lyrics have been played over the airwaves and webstations of 71 countries culminating in an honorary mention amongst finalists in the 2012 International Songwriting Competition. 

 “These days”, says Train “every agency worth its salt is a triple threat. Line & Length doesn’t make threats, it delivers on promises. Howzat?!!!”

Heather Hughen

Account Manager

There comes a time in your working relationships and interactions when you’re going to want to speak with someone who can not only help you, your business and your brand but someone who actually enjoys doing so. 

This is Heather and while she has a marketing degree from a fine university (which let’s face it – millions of people do), experience has taught her that connecting the dots between what her clients produce and what their audience delights in is indeed the most marketable attribute an account manager can wield in the war against so-so service.  That’s a long sentence.  But you’re not here for the grammar (yet), you’re hear to better understand how a passionate, growth-focused professional became such a valuable addition to the visually confronting staff photo at Line & Length.  And more importantly how Heather makes life easier for our valued clients. 

Well, with a rich history of triumphs across project management, HR and of course marketing, Heather has helped create successful and profitable associations across corporate Australia and abroad over a 20 year career.  Now, as the voice of reason aboard the good ship Line & Length, she continues her legacy here, helping clients towards triumphs of their own. 

At last an account manager you can count on.
