We’re looking forward to growing and developing our strengths even further with the new team.” 

Casey Greig, formerly of Nova entertainment, joins Story54 as Commercial Research Director. She will lead the research team and deliver commercial insights for new and existing clients.

Another new hire is senior commercial Editor Natalie Cornish, who joins from Nine Entertainment Co. Cornish will work closely with the commercial content team headed up by newly promoted head of commercial content, Sarah Macrae.
