SCA axes internal corporate comms and PR team
Southern Cross Austereo (SCA) has axed multiple people in its internal corporate communications and PR team, understood to be the result of cost-cutting, Mumbrella can reveal.
The in-house team was led by Kelly Stambanis, head of corporate communications and PR, who was among those dismissed.
“I am extremely proud to have built a high-performing communications and PR team for SCA and to have transitioned and stabilised the function so that it was fully integrated across the business,” Stambanis told Mumbrella.
“This delivered a cohesive and strategic communications approach that supported all SCA’s brands, stations and shows.
What the hell is happening at SCA – on air and off air talent let go and some of the replacements announced are questionable.
The devil works hard but this team arguably works harder. Few media brands have more noise made on their behalf. Appears from the outset to be a big loss.
