Karen Halligan departs Bohemia after just six months for SCA role

Bohemia head of implementation and investment Karen Halligan is departing after just six months to take on the newly created role of national commercial and operations director at Southern Cross Austereo.

Halligan joined Bohemia in April following four years as the general manager of Slingshot Media. Bohemia CEO Brett Dawson will assume the role of head of investment while they assess the needs for the role, as the independent agency undergoes significant change and expansion after winning several substantial pieces of business including Vodafone and Lion.

Southern Cross Austereo national sales director Andrea Ingham said: “Karen’s experience working with clients from a media agency and marketing perspective will add an extra dimension to the way we approach the market and clients.  We are thrilled to add someone of Karen’s caliber to the Management team and very much look forward to her contribution into our strategy and direction moving forward.”
