Nunn Media Follows Recent Business Wins With Five New Hires

Australia’s largest independent media agency, Nunn Media, has appointed Richard McCosker as group account director at its Sydney office, as part of five new hires resulting from recent business wins.

Prior to that, McCosker was communications planning director at multinational agency PHD for four years, tasked with leading the planning and strategy across a diverse portfolio including SC Johnson and Ferrero.

He brings with him over 20 years’ experience which includes time spent on both the client and publisher sides, giving him a unique perspective on both client needs and the customer landscape. This includes his former role as marketing manager of Rebel Sport, client strategy manager at Fairfax Media, and strategy director at Southern Cross Austereo.

“The decision to join was a simple one – Nunn Media are extremely well respected by their clients, media partners and among peers. To be part of this next growth phase, helping their clients to succeed, was a brilliant opportunity for me,” said McCosker.

Nunn Media Sydney has also appointed Melanie Otuhouma as channel planning director, who joins from oOh!media where she was most recently strategic client solutions director.

Other appointments include new digital manager, James Rigby, who has joined from Venatus Media, Ashleigh Lord, who has been appointed as account executive from the Seven Network, and Lien Tran (main photo, right) who was most recently at Initiative.

Chris Walton, managing director at Nunn Media, said, “As our business continues to expand we have made a string of new hires across all levels to ensure we continue delivering for our clients.

“Rich joining us is a key part of this expansion and means we can bring to bear a fantastic depth and breadth of experience at a senior level to help our clients grow.

“I welcome him, Melanie, James, Ashleigh and Lien to Nunn Media ahead of what’s going to be a big year for the agency.”

The appointments follow Nunn Media’s win of Silversea Cruises and global children’s entertainment company Spin Master for its portfolio of brands including Bakugan, PAW Patrol, Hatchimals, Kinetic Sand and Air Hogs.

With annual billings of $330 million, Nunn Media also works with JB HiFi, GMHBA, Amart, 13CABS, American Tourister, Godfreys, Amcal, and Smile Direct Club.

In October 2021 Nunn Media acquired performance agency, Alley Group further boosting its capabilities across search, social, programmatic, e-commerce and digital creative.
