ARN has announced the appointment of Kerri Elstub to the role of Chief Content Officer and Dave Cameron to Director of Content – Metro Radio. The new roles come after Chief Audience & Content Officer Lauren Joyce was made redundant in late November.
Kerri Elstub (pictured above) has 35 years’ experience in radio, television, and digital, shaping some of Australia’s most influential programs, and driven major digital transformation initiatives. She began her career at 2UE before joining Nine, where she held a range of senior content roles on flagship programs including Today, Weekend Today, Kerri-Anne and A Current Affair. For the past seven years she has been Director of Nine’s digital platform nine.com.au.
Dave Cameron spent three decades with SCA, stepping down as their Chief Content Officer in July this year. As Director of Content – Metro Radio, he will have responsibility for metro radio P&L, including content and programming strategy across the KIIS and GOLD metro radio networks.
Dave Cameron said:
“After a short spell away, I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to continue contributing to Australia’s vibrant and evolving media industry. I’m really thrilled to be joining ARN in 2026, and look forward to working alongside Michael, Kerri and the fantastic market-leading creative teams, talent, and brands in the new year. With a renewed vision and energy, ARN is an entertainment company that’s crystal clear about its exciting future ahead, and I can’t wait to play a part in its growth.”
Kerri Elstub said:
“I began my media career in radio, so joining ARN as Chief Content Officer feels like coming full circle. Creating compelling content is part of who I am, and I’m excited to work with Michael and the team to deliver distinctive, engaging experiences that resonate with our audiences and create value for our commercial partners across every platform.”
ARN CEO Michael Stephenson added:
“We have a bold vision for ARN to be an Entertainment Company. We want to create more audio, video, and social content alongside real-life experiences to create more opportunities for audiences and advertisers. Dave’s strategic programming experience and deep domain expertise combined with Kerri’s strategic leadership and cross-platform content experience will supercharge our ability to deliver our vision.”
Both appointments commence early 2026. Images supplied.
