TEG makes two additions to senior executive team

Sydney-based ticketing, live entertainment and data analytics business TEG announced two additions to its senior executive team.

Chris Johnston is the new general manager of TEG Digital while Dominic White is the new head of communications and corporate affairs.

Both take over their roles today, based at the company’s Sydney HQ.

Johnston’s role also sees him lead Ticketek’s marketing operations.

He takes over from Karen Chapple who leaves on July 9 after six years, during which she set up TEG Digital’s in-house BOOST to serve as a digital and data-driven marketing agency for the Australian entertainment industry.

Johnston was most recently head of digital & data at Slingshot Media Ventures, and before that was at Carat Australia as head of digital and direct for Woolworths Ltd.

He said of his new role, “With unrivalled data, great tech and incredible people, TEG is in an enviable position to lead the next evolution of data-driven marketing.

“I’m excited to join the team to help make that happen and realise the endless opportunities that lie ahead.”

White has 20 years of experience in media and communications both in Australia and the United Kingdom.

He was head of communications and content at TV industry marketing and research body ThinkTV, owned by Nine, Seven West Media, Network Ten and Foxtel/MCN.

Prior to that, he was a journalist, most recently as the media & marketing editor for the Australian Financial Review and communications editor for London’s The Daily Telegraph.

TEG CEO Geoff Jones said, “Dom has an outstanding track record in his field, touching on media, politics, business affairs, and content generation.

“TEG is a dynamic and diverse live entertainment, ticketing and data analytics company that is not just a domestic leader but is continuing rapid expansion internationally.

“Dom’s knowledge, contacts and skill-set will bring a fresh approach to how we communicate with our internal and external stakeholders, as the organisation continues its exciting expansion across all areas of the business.”
