David Coleman to lead Nine Entertainment’s digital growth
David Coleman has been promoted to lead digital activities across Nine Entertainment, the recently rebadged PBL Media.
Coleman, previously PBL’s director of strategy, will retain his original remit, but add digital to it.
Nine Entertainment’s assets include the Nine Network, ACP Magazines and joint venture with Microsoft NineMSN.
Nine Entertainment CEO David Gyngell said: “David brings great experience and understanding to our ever growing digital businesses, having worked in the Internet industry since the late 90s.That hands-on experience, and his runs on the board already with our group, make him the logical choice for the new role in what is a key growth area for Nine Entertainment Co.”
Mr Coleman sai: “Our digital assets are the best in the Australian media sector, and we intend to build on them in the future. We see great opportunities to both grow our existing digital activities, and enter new categories. I am looking forward to working with David and the broader management team as we aggressively build our position in digital media.”
Coleman joined PBL five years ago. He represents the company on the boards of several group assets, including NineMSN, Rate City, Cudo and Sky News. Prior to joining the group, he worked for the Internet companies Looksmart and dstore, as well as for consulting firm McKinsey & Company.
