Terry Stuart, Michelle Stamper

Longtime Nine Melbourne publicity head Michelle Stamper has departed the network after 14 and a half years.

“I have thoroughly enjoyed the ride, first at Nine as Head of Publicity and Marketing and most recently Director of Marketing and Partnerships across the group,” she said in a note to colleagues.

“I feel privileged to have been a part of a company which achieved so much success, underwent so much transformation and has the best people in the business.”

My thanks to Michelle for her dedication and attention to detail over the many years and shows we worked on together. She has been across Nine’s voluminous Melbourne production output in news, sport, entertainment and drama.

“I’m very proud of everything the teams I have led at Nine have achieved, in both the publicity and marketing departments, and it’s exciting to leave on a high following the launch of Marvellous Melbourne and the extraordinary success of the Footy Show Grand Final Eve: My Room Telethon,” she added.

“It has been a real honour to work at Nine for so long, and it’s been more than just a job – something I have put my heart and soul into. While sad to go, and I will miss working with the incredible talent at Nine across the board, I am looking forward to what the future will bring.”

Terry Stuart was appointed Melbourne Communications Manager in January when Michelle Stamper became Director of Marketing and Partnerships.
