TEG’s Dominic White Joins Allison+Partners (EXCLUSIVE)

Dominic White departs TEG as head of communications and corporate affairs to join global communications firm Allison+Partners as an account director on its ANZ team, and to provide consulting for select corporate affairs clients, TMN can reveal.

White joined TEG in July 2019 from ThinkTV, where served as head of communications & content.

At TEG, the entertainment, ticketing and technology giant, White oversaw communications during the takeover by Silver Lake, its historic Fire Fight bushfire relief concert, and acted as chief liaison between Australia’s three largest live entertainment promoters and the federal arts and prime minister’s offices throughout the pandemic.

In that role, White also handled comms for one of Australia’s best-known consumer-facing brands in Ticketek and managed PR for TEG’s flurry of acquisitions including Laneway Festival and Handsome Tours.

Also, he played a supporting role in the recent launch of SXSW Sydney.
