Tony Thomas to leave the radio station this week after nine years as its chief marketing officer
Nova Entertainment has confirmed its chief marketing officer, Tony Thomas, will leave the business this week after a nine-year tenure.
In a statement, Nova’s CEO, Cathy O’Connor said Thomas had played a critical role in the development, growth and success of the radio station.
“We are incredibly grateful for the contribution he has made,” she said. “His achievements include rebranding dmg Radio to Nova Entertainment, helping take Nov to the number one national network and developing an outstanding team of marketing professionals.”
Thomas’ last official day is 30 August. He is yet to confirm what his next professional plans are. Nova has also yet to confirm a replacement or its plans for the CMO position.
In a career spanning nine years, Thomas said there were plenty of highlights. He noted the debut of radio brand, smoothfm, the invention of the Nova Red Room and leading the Goat.com.au launch as a few such highlights.
“And importantly, building a team of marketing professionals who are the best in the media business,” he said.
In a former interview with CMO, Thomas also highlighted significant investment and work on building its data-driven audience insights, including the launch of ‘Nova Unite’ bringing together 150 pre-determined audience segments to better target media across its network.
Prior to joining Nova, Thomas had a short contract role with Coles Group covering advertising and media. His resume also includes senior marketing roles with ninemsn, PepsiCo and Diageo.

Flash back to the classic film, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Television-obsessed Mike insists on becoming the first person to be ‘sent by Wonkavision’, dematerialising on one end, pixel by pixel, and materialising in another space. His cinematic dreams are realised thanks to rash decisions as he is shrunken down to fit the digital universe, followed by a trip to the taffy puller to return to normal size.
Why is it there is no shortage of leadership development materials, yet outstanding leadership is so rare? Despite having access to so many leadership principles, tools, systems and processes, why is it so hard to develop and improve as a leader?
As a nation united by sport, brands are beginning to learn money alone won’t talk without aligned values and action. If recent events with major leagues and their players have shown us anything, it’s the next generation of athletes are standing by what they believe in – and they won’t let their values be superseded by money.
