Nine sales boss Peter Wiltshire promoted to PBL role as Lynette Phillips departs ACP
ACP veteran Lynette Phillips has departed the company in a move which has seen Nine’s commercial boss Peter Wiltshire promoted to responsibility for sales and marketing across the whole of PBL.
The announcement came from new PBL CEO David Gyngell in the strongest signal yet of his determination to integrate the Nine Network’s TV operation with ACP Magazines and online operation NineMSN, as well as Ticketek.
Wiltshire’s new title is Group Sales and Marketing Director of the PBL Media.
According to the announcement: “The role sees Mr Wiltshire take full responsibility for the revenue performance across Nine, ACP and NineMSN, alongside marketing of the PBL Media group.”
Wow – (Edited under Mumbrella’s comment moderation policy)?
And Louise Barrett didn’t return to 2GB after her baby? That’s a shame for them.
Graham – that is gold
Jeez – what is going on over there??!! There is so much turmoil and a lack of history now at ACP how can you possibly trust what is happening to your media dollars? Watch the market share substantially increase over at the competitive Pubs now
Congrats Peter. Well deserved!
Christ what’s happening to ACP – Lynette will be a great loss.
ACP is a disaster anyway – I much prefer dealing with Pacs and News. Yes there were a few great people at ACP but they have all gone now and I wouldn’t trust who is left with my clients’ media $$. Good for Pete though across PBL
Utter disbelief and shock, you could have cut the room with a knife yesterday a very unhappy ACP sales team. Is this what they do to staff that work for the company for over 20 years!!
Another graduate of regional TV rises to the top. On ya Pete.
Huge mistake losing Phillips. She was the powerhouse behind that sales team.
Jackie – are you serious? How many people did Phillips get rid of? She was the ‘they’. She’s old-school. ACP will move foward with direction and maybe some strategy now.

Let Julie speak !
P.S. Where’s 4inchHeelsOnly when you need it !?!?!?!!?!?
whether you like her or not, Lynette was one of the best media sales people in Australia. Phil Scott and David Gyngell what are you doing???
there must be serious morale issues in a company that treats longterm staff like that
The mentality has always been at ACP/PBL “kill or be killed” and they are all as bad as eachother. I have heard horror stories of how they treat people over there so it is no surprise – what goes around comes around and I am sure it will change all over again soon. Moral of the tale – don’t work there
Simon, being good at your job doesnt’ give you a licence to (edited by Mumbrella for legal reasons).
I wouldn’t say she was good at her job- she just always had a good team of people around her that made her look good. She was good at getting ‘work’ done though……
That’s what makes a good manager – having great people that want to work for you and staff have always wanted to work for Phillips. We’re hearing there are many unhappy people at ACP and more tears today!
WOW – who’s seen the Australian way to go Nick Chan – and his support of Phillips – ACP shame on you!!!!!!!
2007 Who Killed Channel 9
2011 Who hasn’t killed ACP – The all inclusive disaster – OUT SOON!!!
Love it Sid – and if it isn’t dead yet, the final nails are now getting hammered into the coffin. Bad management can really screw a place up
