Nova Entertainment gets its first head of communications

Nova Entertainment has appointed Helen Johnson to the newly created role of head of communications.

Johnson brings more than two decades of experience to the position, primarily at Foxtel Group, where she was most recently head of brand experience and partner publicity lead for Foxtel and BINGE.

Johnson will report to chief growth officer Adam Johnson, who was appointed at the start of 2022 to oversee Nova Entertainment’s brand marketing and communications and drive growth in the group’s digital audience and content offering.

Commenting on the appointment, Adam Johnson said: “We’re delighted that Helen has joined the NOVA Entertainment family. Helen’s media and entertainment credentials are second-to-none and her appointment shows NOVA’s ongoing commitment to building a best-in-class marcomms function that fuels our all-of-audio audience growth.”

Johnson commenced her 19 year career at Foxtel at Foxtel Networks Australia as a digital publicist in 2004. She climbed up the ranks over 12 years before landing a role heading up publicity for HBO at Foxtel Group in 2016, later adding Foxtel and Binge to her remit.

Johnson departed the business in 2022 to travel oversees, before a short stint freelancing as a communications and PR consultant.
