Hamish McLennan, the man with one of the toughest jobs in media, will make his first public appearance since taking the helm of the Ten Network at Mumbrella360.

McLennan became CEO of the free to air network in March following the departure of James Warburton.

A veteran adman, he ran Y&R Brands in Australia including leading the acquisition of George Patterson Bates, before moving to the US where he was global chairman and CEO of the WPP ad agency.

He then joined News Corporation as Rupert Murdoch’s right hand man in the role of executive vice president, Office of the Chairman.

It’ll be great to hear his plans… been so much talk about this without much comment from him!

Male. Handsome. Square jawed. Broad shouldered. Clearly resolute and no doubt of above average height. How could his gig at the M360 be anything less than inspirational?
