Nine Perth announces changes to its local agency, digital and publishing sales teams

Nine Perth has announced personnel changes to its local Agency, Digital and Publishing sales teams, committed to creating more opportunities for advertisers across its leading Television, Digital, Publishing, and Radio assets.

With Estelle Monteleone (Group Business Director, Agency) departing on maternity leave in the coming weeks, Megan Tuckey (Group Business Manager, Broadcast) has been promoted to cover this position from February 18 and will join the Perth Sales leadership team that includes Lucy Belbin (Head of Strategy & Client Experience, Powered, Perth), Chris Perera (Group Business Director, Nine Plus), and Gemma White (Group Business Director, Publishing and Digital).

Tuckey has worked at Nine Perth for a decade and her intimate knowledge of the Perth market, trusted relationships with clients and outstanding leadership skills, will ensure she is well equipped to lead the team in 2022.

Clive Bingwa, Managing Director of Nine Perth, said: “I can’t tell you how fantastic it is to see a consistent high performer continue to move through the ranks and be consistently presented with opportunity to grow. Megan has delivered outstanding results for this team and I congratulate her on the position.

“Megan’s progress is a testament to Estelle’s strong leadership and focus on people development and we wish Estelle all the best on her journey to motherhood and look forward to welcoming her back next year”.

Tuckey’s move will see Nine’s Senior Sales Executive and winner of the 2021 Media i Awards for Local Sales Representative of the Year, Natasha Twentyman, step up to the interim role of Group Business Manager, Television, and work along-side Jaimi-Lee Chatley, Group Business Manager, Radio.

Bingwa said: “Natasha is a consistent high performer, a spiritual leader, and a fantastic poster child for what a great attitude coupled with a strong technical acumen can deliver.”

Account Executive Alessia Starvaggi will move into Twentyman’s place as Sales Executive during this period.

Meanwhile in Nine Perth’s’ Digital and Publishing division, Lucy Treasure has recently joined the team as Senior Sales Executive as Kim Salamons and Alix Rivalland have taken Maternity leave.

“Lucy is a fantastic media executive and joins us from Realestate.com.au where she was an Account Manager,” Bingwa said.

“Lucy is also an ex-Nine Sydney employee, and the extended team locally and nationally are excited to welcome someone of Lucy’s calibre back into the Nine family.”

Furthermore, Emily Rosato has joined the Digital and Publishing team on secondment as a Sales Executive

Bingwa commended Rosato on her internal promotion, stating: “She is without a doubt one of the rising stars of the industry.”
