Telstra’s Mark Buckman, Harold Mitchell, Nine MSN’s Joe Pollard and Comms Council chairman Anthony Freedman join Mumbrella360 lineup
Four of the most influential people in Australia’s media and marketing industry are to take to the stage for the final session of next month’s Mumbrella360 conference.
The two day event will culminate with a keynote Mumbrella Question Time in which the panel of four takes questions from the audience.
Mark Buckman, the new chief marketing officer for Telstra, will make one of his first public appearances since moving to the telco giant from the same role at Commonwealth Bank.
Buckman is arguably best known for championing the importance of marketers being brave in their advertising strategies.
Also on the panel will be Anthony Freedman, chairman of The Communications Council, which is the voice of Australia’s ad agencies.
Freedman is also CEO and founder of independent ad agency Host, which has just celebrated its tenth anniversary, and PR agency One Green Bean.
Another member of the panel is Harold Mitchell, executive chairman of Aegis Media Group Australia and New Zealand and founder of Mitchell & Partners, which is the only Australian media agency with billings of more than $1bn.
Mitchell was one of the pioneeers of standalone media agencies in Australia.
And the panel is completed by Joe Pollard, CEO of NineMSN. Nine MSN, a joint venture with Microsoft, is the digital voice of the Nine Entertainment Co which includes the Nine network and ACP Magazines. Pollard’s career has included JWT and Mindshare and global director of media at Nike.
Tickets for Mumbrella360 – and the full programme – are available at the Mumbrella360 website.

Tim,
Congratulations on putting together such a great programme. It’s shaping up to perhaps be the marketing industry event of the year. One question however, will you be filming each session / track and making the content available to paid up attendees? There are some track sessions where it will simply be impossible to be in three places at once!

Hi Paddy,
Thanks for the kind words. I’m going to have exactly the same problem myself – there are some great session that I’d love to see where I’ll be moderating in another room at the same time.
I can’t guarantee that we’ll film (or upload) everything as we haven’t made a plan yet, but our main room/ Track 1 will be fully covered, and there’ll be a further two camera crews roving. so I hope we’ll capture most if it.
Cheers,
Tim
Thanks Tim. Look forward to seeing you there.
