Nova 93.7’s direct team leader, Simon Mikulich, has left the Perth radio station after over 12 years.
Mikulich joined Nova in Perth in 2009 from Southern Cross Austereo (SCA) as an agency client executive. He then rose through the ranks to acting agency sales manager, key client manager, and then direct team leader in March last year.
In 2017, he won the Australian Commercial Radio Award (ACRA) for Best Agency Salesperson.
Mikulich announced his departure on LinkedIn, revealing it was time to say farewell.
“What a ride,” he added. “Thank you to the staff and my incredible clients – I’ll be watching you grow in the years ahead.”
Entries for the ACRAs open on Monday
This year’s awards will cover an extended timeframe as the 2020 event was cancelled in light of COVID-19 restrictions.
The Best Station Sales Achievement, Best Agency Salesperson and Best Direct Salesperson will cover the past two full calendar years (January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2020). Entries for all other categories must be for work that was broadcast and/ or active between April 1, 2019 and March 31, 2021.
There are 39 categories this year including Best On-Air Team, Best Program Director, Best Podcast by a Radio Show, Best Newcomer On-Air and Best Syndicated Australian Program.
Entrants for last year’s canned event can be resubmitted, and no entry fees were collected in 2020.
