Evadne Janeke appointed Digital Commercial Director at NOVA Entertainment

NOVA Entertainment has announced the appointment of Evadne Janeke as its Digital Commercial Director, further strengthening its senior commercial leadership team as the business continues to scale its digital audience.

Janeke joins NOVA Entertainment from Seven West Media, where she held the role of Head of Commercial Product & Digital Operations.

She brings extensive experience from both the media and agency sides of the industry, including leadership positions in publishing and client strategy.

As NOVA Entertainment scales its digital audiences, most recently with the expansion of its streaming apps onto Apple TV, the company remains focused on delivering innovative commercial products that meet the evolving needs of the market.

NOVA says Janeke’s appointment reflects its commitment to building digital capability and performance for clients.

“Evadne brings a wealth of experience and perspective from her extensive career working across media owners, agencies and publishers,” said Nicole Bence, NOVA Entertainment’s Chief Commercial Officer.

“Her appointment completes our senior sales leadership team at a pivotal time. As we scale our digital audiences, it’s critical we have the right products in market to deliver both the magic and the method behind world-class audio campaigns. With Evadne leading our digital commercial product strategy, we’re ensuring that Nova Knows Performance isn’t just a promise – it’s what we deliver every day.”

Janeke will report to Bence and will lead digital sales, commercial product, data and digital solutions across NOVA’s streaming, podcast and retail platforms. She will be responsible for delivering client-centric digital products and driving strong commercial outcomes.

She replaces Michelle Golding, who recently transitioned to Director of Digital Strategy, Capabilities and Data, leading NOVA’s digital and product teams.

On her new appointment, Janeke said “I’m thrilled to be joining NOVA Entertainment at such a pivotal time. NOVA is investing in the right areas to expand digital reach and deliver measurable outcomes for advertisers. I’m excited to help shape the commercial products that will unlock new opportunities for clients and audiences.”

With over twenty years of industry experience, Janeke has previously held senior leadership roles at News Corp, Pacific Magazines and OMD Australia.

She will start her new role at NOVA Entertainment in October, based in Sydney.
