Southern Cross Media (SCA) chief marketing officer Nikki Clarkson is leaving the media company, AdNews can reveal.
The broadcaster didn't respond to questions from AdNews on whether or not the departure was part of a redundancy round.
Insiders say other cuts have happened.
The news follows other redundancies for publishers this week, citing economic headwinds and a fall in the advertising market as the cause.
CEO John Kelly confirmed the departure of Clarkson, who has been at SCA for almost 17 years. She was promoted to CMO in 2019.
“Nikki has made an extraordinary contribution to SCA over her highly successful career journey," Kelly said.
"She is a fiercely passionate leader, a highly respected member of the SLT and an exceptional strategic and creative marketer who has played a pivotal role in building our brands to be highly recognisable and loved in Australian households and transforming our marketing team into a data led, performance based group of experts.
"In recent times, the most outstanding work Nikki and the team have done is in building and growing the LiSTNR brand.”
Nikki Clarkson said she is so grateful for her time at SCA, which has given her some wonderful experiences and career opportunities.
"It has been a privilege to lead the marketing of mighty brands such as Triple M and The Fox and to see the team transform in the way it has to build LiSTNR from scratch, to the success it is today, is inspiring," Clarkson said.
"I will miss working with John, the senior leadership team, the marketing and comms team and so many other exceptional people at the company and wish SCA every success for the future.”
