Loupelis will join the national CREATE leadership team under Kate Day’s direction and will lead the team responsible for creating and managing NOVA Entertainment’s market leading entertainment partnerships, in collaboration with like-minded brands, across the Nova and smoothfm networks.

The Commercial Partnerships portfolio includes music marketing, brand experience and sponsorship with the remit being to successfully leverage NOVA Entertainment owned assets and collective IP to maximise brand relevance for all partners.

Kate Day, NOVA Entertainment’s national commercial strategy director said, “Steph is passionate about brands and understands the power of great client service. She has proven experience in successfully balancing editorial and commercial priorities, to the benefit of all those invested in the success of the partnership.

Being able to follow through on your promises is the foundation of trust which we believe differentiates the client experience at Nova.”
