NOVA Entertainment

We're committed to being the audio partner for performance, so awards like this one are everything. Thank you to the IMAA - Independent Media Agencies Australia for both the recognition of NOVA's contribution & impact, and also for your genuine commitment to a mutually valuable partnership. And last but by NO MEANS least, a massive congratulations / cheers / thank you / hats off to our commercial team around the country who work so hard to build the kind of relationships that enable these awards.

Movember is such a powerful initiative to raise awareness around how important it is to support Men’s Mental Health. Leading by example is our very own powerhouse Matt Baseley who is going to raise money by running 30km between 5.30am and 9am on Friday 29th November live on our Star 104.5 Central Coast studios. Whilst we pray the weather gods are kind, we also hope that our fathers, brothers, sons and friends are kind to themselves and reach out the team at Movember if they need someone to talk to. You can support Matt by clicking on the link below to make a tax-deductible donation. When it comes to #UnwaveringUnity, this is what it’s all about.

Podcasting is at a tipping point. The audience has grown. Your ad spend has grown. Our capabilities have grown. And in line with all that, so too has podcasting’s perceived complexity.    It’s our job to simplify podcasting’s unrivalled – and underutilised – opportunity for audience impact (see our pics below for a reminder). To do that, we need your help.   The IAB Australia's Audio State Of The Nation Survey is now live. We’re looking for anyone brand or agency side to share your experience with digital audio and podcast advertising.   Your insights will directly inform podcasting’s next episode. To sweeten the deal, all respondents will receive a free ticket to the IAB Audio Summit AND go in the running to win a $250 voucher. Follow the link in the comments to complete the survey.

SURVEY 7 HIGHLIGHTS | To celebrate a killer survey for NOVA Entertainment, we've turned our listicle / litany of number ones into a charming carousel for your viewing pleasure. The results are clear. #IfYouKnowYouNOVA #IYKYN In the spirit of using acronyms anyone over 25 will have to google, here's another one (for our time-poor followers)...TL;DR: NOVA Entertainment remains your shortcut to getting in front of more Australians than any other audio network.

More than 3,500 media agency professionals can’t be wrong...right? In this case, we reckon they absolutely nailed it. Massive congratulations to Alana Bulger for being recognised as QLD's Audio Salesperson of the Year - hard earned & well deserved. Special mention to our other NOVA finalists who all did us proud on the night: Lucy Carey, Holly Reynolds, Ebony Delmo, Matt Russell, Daniel Muscat, Damian Rosengarten, Gemma Brandley and Megan Beard. You're the difference.

So stoked to be able to call out the epic trifecta of FINCH Company, Supermassive and NOVA Entertainment for this incredible win for 36 Months. Also stoked to be able to legitimately tag Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in a LinkedIn post. Brilliant result.

It truly is inspiring to see the positive changes our people are making in their communities and it is something we are proud to support via our #NovaGoldenGrants initiative. This year we are able to support an initiative close to Mary DATOC's heart, and in her own words she shares why Gawura School inspires her. "As a supporter of Gawura School at St Andrew's Cathedral School, I saw firsthand the impact it had on students. Our son, who studied alongside Gawura students, benefited deeply from exposure to First Nations culture – an experience that broadened his perspective and deepened his understanding of Australia's heritage. Gawura College fosters respect, empathy, and appreciation for Indigenous traditions, bridging gaps and building connections that will shape our children's futures. We were so grateful to be part of such an initiative that brings us closer to true reconciliation". If you want to know more about Gawura School you can click on this link or visit their website. https://lnkd.in/gNHzsQSZ Here at Nova we live and breathe three core values: #UnwaveringUnity, #RelentlessCuriosity and #RadicalEmpathy.

When THE ICONIC wanted to create an intimate, premium and unmissable live music experience for their customers, their first call was NOVA Entertainment.   Together with Love Media, we launched ‘Summer Sounds’ - an exclusive customer experience at the equally ICONIC Watson’s Bay Hotel, featuring an electrifying performance from Sneaky Sound System.    Hosted by our very own Kent 'Smallzy' Small, Summer Sounds was designed as a the perfect fusion of all the best parts of the season - style, music, and great vibes.    Our partners can leverage our proven credibility and capabilities to create bespoke events of any scale, backed by the power of the NOVA Entertainment network.   For events, activations and amplification with impact, think NOVA.

In case you were wondering about the value of a #SkilledRefugee program in identifying and supporting talent, please read Mustafa's story. We are so lucky to have such a talented developer join our business, and we highly recommend Talent Beyond Boundaries to support you in this journey. In his own words: "My journey to Nova has been long, but incredibly rewarding. I left Syria due to the war and spent short periods in Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, and Turkey before finally finding a new home in Australia. After interviewing with Tim Armstrong and Toby at Nova in May 2022- many thanks to both; I began navigating the complex visa process, which took nearly two years. I’m deeply grateful for the unwavering support from Nova and the Fragomen legal team, whose efforts were instrumental in helping me secure my visa and make this transition possible. Everyone at Nova has gone above and beyond, offering amazing support and making me feel like part of a family. I’m deeply grateful to Nova, SSI, and Talent Beyond Boundaries for helping me settle in Australia and begin this exciting journey as a full stack engineer. A special thanks to Australia for giving me this incredible opportunity and welcoming me with open arms. To any businesses considering hiring talented individuals from diverse or refugee backgrounds, I highly encourage it. There’s an incredible amount of untapped potential, and with the right opportunities, you’re not only empowering individuals but also enriching Australia’s workforce with fresh perspectives and unique skills. This diversity drives innovation, fosters growth, and strengthens the fabric of our communities and economy." We couldn't say it better and are incredibly proud to have Mustafa join our team and support our #SoundFuture goals. #UnwaveringUnity #RadicalEmpathy #RelentlessCuriosity Amanda Bollans (Cervonaro)

Here at NOVA, we’re passionate about giving back to causes that resonate with our team. This year, we're proud to continue supporting The Pinnacle Foundation by hosting some mouthwatering picnics across our various markets, all while raising crucial funds! #PicnicForPinnacle is an incredible initiative from The Pinnacle Foundation, a charity dedicated to empowering young LGBTQIA+ Australians through education scholarships, mentoring, and opportunities. It’s a fantastic chance for our people from different departments to connect, enjoy delicious food, and support a great cause. A huge shout-out to our D&I Committee and our #SoundFutureInitiative for making it happen, and of course to our awesome partners Sushi Hub, Zambrero, and Nando's Australia & New Zealand for the tasty bites! #CommunitySupport #DiversityAndInclusion #Fundraising #LGBTQIA #TeamNova #PicnicForPinnacle
