David Higgins moves to Foxtel

Former editor of news.com.au David Higgins is to move to Foxtel and take up a role as social media marketing manager, working across the pay-tv operator.

Higgins, who is also a board member of the Walkley Foundation, will take up the role in late July after spending the last few years as one of News Limited’s lead strategists on digital content and paywalls.

“I’ve been working with social media companies at News Limited for the last few years and I’m a huge TV junkie so this was the perfect opportunity for me and was a role I couldn’t pass up”, Higgins told Mumbrella.
