Addington said: “As Publishers Australia enters an exciting new phase in its history I’m looking forward to meeting with members and delivering enhanced services to them across the country.

“Connecting advertisers with audiences remains as true for B2B, specialist and custom publishers today as it has always been. While the delivery method is evolving, they are still best placed to provide quality content across print, digital and events to targeted communities than any other media. I want to ensure Publishers Australia is supporting members and advancing their interests across all aspects of business.”

General manager Matthew Green is leaving the association following a recent management restructure which saw publishing and events business Focal Attractions appointed as its management partner with a brief to grow the association’s events portfolio and raise its profile nationally.
