Dan Andrew

Lecturer

Dan Andrew is an experienced advertiser and lecturer in communications and marketing. Prior to his academic career, he worked on some of Australia’s largest clients and campaigns, spending the last 5 years as a Client Service Director managing a large team of media planners and buyers.

During his time in the advertising industry he witnessed the increasing dominance of digital media and began researching the changing relationship between advertisers, audiences and media providers that formed the basis of his PhD.
