Branded entertainment destination business, Merlin Entertainments, has hired Meghann Sinclair to be its new senior communications manager for Australia and New Zealand.

In her role, Sinclair’s work will consist of spearheading all communications (external and internal) for Merlin’s ANZ destinations.

This includes the Sydney and Melbourne locations for aquarium Sea Life; Legoland Discovery Centre in Melbourne; Wild Life Sydney Zoo; Sydney Tower Eye; and wax sculpture museum Madame Tussauds.

Sinclair joins the Merlin team after working as a contract associate producer for content studio Wildbear Entertainment, where she helped develop a documentary series.

Prior to Wildbear, Sinclair spent over four years at Big W, having entered the business in February 2021 as a communications manager. She also served as a PR, communications and community partnerships manager for the retailer, from November 2022 to March 2025.
