ARN appoints Rich Howells as national digital commercial director

Australian Radio Network (ARN) has announced Amobee’s group operations director for APAC, Rich Howells, will take on the role of national digital commercial director from next week.

Howells’ appointment is part of ARN’s wider commercial restructure, which comes in the wake of the departure of CEO Rob Atkinson, and Conversant Media being folded into the company.

Howells has 14 years’ experience in digital marketing

The parent company of ARN, HT&E (formerly APN News and Media), has been focusing on “streamlining the organisational structure between the corporate and ARN divisions”, chairman Hamish McLennan said last year.
