PwC’s Russel Howcroft and Michael Nearhos, outgoing NAB general manager of brand experience, will both make speaker appearances at the 25 July AdNews Media + Marketing in Melbourne.
Howcroft will open the day on the Addressable TV Panel alongside several TV bosses including Nine’s Michael Stephenson, Seven’s Luke Smith, MCN’s Mark Frain, MediaCom CIO Nicole Turley and ThinkTV’s Kim Portrate.
The esteemed panel will discuss the potential of addressable TV to revolutionise the future of commercial television.
Portrate will also deliver a 10-minute TV Upfront, explaining where the medium is headed over the next 18 months in Australia.
Nearhos' departure was announced by NAB earlier this month, following a team restructure - after it was revealed NAB CMO Andrew Knott would also leave in May.
Despite the move Nearhos will continue to co-host the ‘Making The Marriage of Client and Agency Work,’ where he will reveal the secrets of the firm’s long-lasting relationship with agency of note, Clemenger.
He will be joined on stage by James McGrath, Clemenger BBDO creative chairman and Gayle While, Clemenger deputy CEO.
With so much movement in that space, it promises to be informative and entertaining.

The full day event in Sydney last month garnered great feedback with stories such as how dwindling CMO tenure is killing consistency, how Cricket Australia is shifting perceptions from a ‘gentleman’s game’ - as well as a look at how Australia will roll out 'world leading' addressable TV solutions this year and how addressable advertising will “prevent further haemorrhaging” of TV into digital.
