Nine appoints new managing director for Perth

Media agency exec to lead Nine Perth, following the resignation of Ray Wardrop.

Nine has announced Clive Bingwa as Managing Director and Director of Sales for Nine Perth, following the resignation of Ray Wardrop.

Bingwa has been Managing Director of Initiative Media and IPG Mediabrands Perth for 3 years and prior to that was the National Media Director, and Partner of 303Lowe.

“Creating this new role in Perth is another great example of our desire to challenge the way things have always been done,” said Michael Stephenson, Nine’s Chief Sales Officer. “Clive will bring a new perspective to our business in Perth. He is widely recognised as one of the most strategic media executives in the country and he is a great addition to our team.

“Clive will be working closely with our advertisers and agency partners with a focus on delivering real business outcomes. He has the best Australian content, world-class advertising technology in 9Galaxy and a unique data infrastructure at his fingertips to ensure we are the most effective media partner for every Perth client.”

“I’m tremendously excited to be joining Nine,” said Bingwa. “Since Nine bought its Perth station five years ago it has significantly increased its investment and now has a growing momentum in the market.

“I am looking forward to the opportunity in front of us in the Perth market and what we can achieve with our streamlined integrated offer that will actively remove barriers and efficiently deliver effective solutions.”

Clive Bingwa replaces Ray Wardrop who has been Managing Director of Nine Perth for the past two years.

Bingwa will report to Ian Paterson, Nine’s Director – Commercial Partnerships and Affiliates for operations and Richard Hunwick, Nine’s Director of Sales – Television.

Meanwhile, Estelle Cooper, from MCN, has also been appointed Group Business Director responsible for television sales.

“Estelle is widely recognised as a future star and she is the perfect person to work alongside Clive to ensure we continue to lead the Perth market,” Michael Stephenson said. “Estelle will work with Nine’s digital and integration sales teams and report to Clive Bingwa.”

Both will commence their roles in January.
