PostClick founder Andrew Lockwood to depart

One of the best known operators among Australia’s online sales houses is to step down from the company he founded more than a decade ago.
Andrew Lockwood co-founded PostClick in 2001. The company was acquired by Komli Media two years ago.
He will leave the company next month, handing the MD role to Andrew Reid.
Reid has been VP of data solutions at Komli since late last year. Prior to that he headed Komli’s ViziSense, which made an unsuccessful attempt to win the IAB online audience measurement tender.
Prior to that Reid was MD of music industry business Peer Group for two years. He was in a management role at Blue Freeway before that.
Today’s announcement said that Lockwood would be taking “an extended break” but might return later in an advisory role.
Reid said: “Andrew has made an enormous contribution to the online advertising industry in Australia. He created an innovative, agile and very successful ad network. And we look forward to seeing the next chapter in his career.”
The announcement comes a few days after PostClick announced the opening of a Brisbane office run by long time staffer Carla Zipper.
Tim Burrowes founded Mumbrella in 2008. He worked on Mumbrella until 2021. At various points he was editor, content director and editor-at-large.
