Kay will be responsible for managing the Nova 100 Brand and Promotions team to create and deliver effective promotional solutions for Nova’s clients and stations, secure and manage key partnerships, and deliver on the company strategy while ensuring a winning culture of innovation, idea generation and execution across Nova’s brands.

Nova Entertainment’s brand and promotions director Polly Goodchild said: “We are extremely pleased to appoint Andy Kay to the role of Nova 100 brand and promotions manager.

“Andy is a strong leader and his passion for radio and Melbourne make him the perfect culture fit for Nova Entertainment.

“With seven years’ experience in radio promotions, partnerships and client implementation, he’s the perfect addition to the local brand and promotion’s team. We’re really looking forward to him joining the company and hitting the ground running.”

With over 10 years’ radio and management experience, most recently Kay was senior national network brand activations specialist for ARN (KIIS/Pure Gold Networks), responsible for creating national promotional campaigns for some of Australia and the world’s biggest brands and organisations.

After four years as a recruitment manager for Sensis, Kay joined ARN in March 2012.

Over the next seven years, he held various roles including campaign and event specialist for Mix FM’s breakfast show, national campaign and event manager for ARN’s National Drive Show and in February 2016 was promoted to his most recent role as senior national network brand activations specialist.
