Marnie McKeown to depart Fairfax

After more than 13 years with Fairfax Media, Marnie McKeown will be leaving her role as State Director, SA & WA.

During her time at Fairfax, McKeown has been instrumental in driving commercial opportunities for clients across the wide range of Fairfax products.

In 2008, she led the launch of WAtoday.com.au which turned 10 this year, building the digital business from scratch in the WA market into what it is today.

 She was an inaugural winner of the Fairfax Media ‘Women of Influence Awards’ for her leadership capabilities – selected out of more than 8,000 employees across Australia and NZ.

 McKeown was also a valued member of the Oasis Committee for 10 years. She is currently Chairperson of the Creative Corner, which is the organisation that delivers the Emergence Creative Festival.

“I am really excited about what my next opportunity may be,” said McKeown. “I have had the privilege of working with some amazing people during my time at Fairfax. I am really proud of the clients and campaigns that we have delivered. I also feel honoured to have been able to give some amazingly talented people their start in our industry and seen them grow and continue to be top of their game not only in Perth, but into their global roles.”

“I am really appreciative of the opportunities I’ve been given at Fairfax – its not often you can say you’ve worked for some of the best in the business and on the best products in market. I am looking forward to the possibilities of what a New Year and 2019 might have to offer.”
