Lantern Group’s Niki White starts new agency Nikstar

Former Lantern Group MD Niki White has left the agency after seven years to start her own operation, taking several clients and two members of staff with her.

The move comes after the departure of Lantern Group boss Victoria Buchan who left in January to become director of communications and public relations at Nine Network in January. Buchan retained ownership of Lantern after her departure to Nine, but it appears that it will become a slimmed down operation with Buchan’s daughter Louisa Read running operations, particularly unit publicity on Wolverine. It is to close its Fox Studios office.

White: “Lucky”
