Q&A Damian Keogh

In a piece that first featured in Encore, Val Morgan CEO Damian Keogh reveals his potential alternate career.

Who is the most powerful person in Australian media and why?

I’d say Kerry Stokes, slightly ahead of Harold Mitchell and Kim Williams. He controls the entity with the largest revenue across free-to-air, online, magazines and newspapers. On pure size alone, his influence and leverage over advertisers, media agencies and consumers is unmatched. Harold is still the king in media, slightly ahead of John Steedman, but Henry Tajer and Leigh Terry are the heirs apparent. Kim Williams controls News and that’s a big base to work from.

What one medium could you not live without?
