Lianne Scott

Lianne Scott

Account manager

Lianne is your first call at the agency. She has more than twenty years in media sales across television, digital, print and radio, with sales lead roles at Paradise Outdoor Advertising in Townsville, News Corp and The Cairns Post, the Innisfail Advocate, News Xtend and Sensis in digital, and Radio 4KZ and Kool FM. She shows clients how to measure traditional media, so they can see what a campaign is actually doing for them. She also ran her own surf, sport and skate store in Innisfail for four years, and has been a Justice of the Peace for more than 25 years.

Four city brands

Each city has its own brand and its own front door, so a Cairns business deals with Cairns Advertising and a Mackay business with Mackay Advertising. Behind all four is one office and one team in Belgian Gardens.
