Chief executive officer of Perth agency Meerkats, Gavin Bain, has been appointed as a Board Member of The Communications Council, following the Annual General Meeting held last week in Sydney.

 

Commenting on his appointment, Bain said: “I’ve enjoyed working alongside the Board as the State Chair of The Communications Council in WA since 2016, and now look forward to contributing at a national level.”

“I’m a passionate advocate for the value of commercial creativity on behalf of our members, and look forward to helping implement the exciting strategy of the Board.”

Welcoming Bain to the Board, Chairman Mark Green, said: “Since joining The Communications Council as WA State Chair, Gavin has played an essential role in championing the industry along our western seaboard. We welcome Gavin as a strong independent voice and someone who will represent WA members on a national level.”
