Nike’s Brant Hirst to leave Australia in marketing shake up

Nike’s Australian marketing team has undergone a shakeup with Pacific region marketing director Brant Hirst moving to the company’s South Korean office and being replaced in Melbourne by Andrew Keith.

Hirst was appointed to the role two years ago to replace outgoing marketing head Juliana Nguyen. Prior to that, he was the head of Nike’s sports marketing arm where he negotiated the sportswear company’s apparel deal with the Football Federation of Australia.
