Our Team
Tony Nicholls
I am an accomplished broadcast journalist with experience working for many reputable news media outlets for more than ten years, including the ABC, SBS and Network TEN. During my tenure, I covered hundreds of news stories at the local, national and international levels.
Most importantly, it was this background as a reporter, journalist and presenter which led to Good Talent Media being born. I know first hand how a journalist thinks, how they work, what format they look for and what types of news stories journalists love to run with.
At Good Talent Media, we strike the perfect balance with a team of ex-journalists, PR experts and Brand & Marketing superstars. As an ever-growing agency, we pride ourselves on accelerating brands and making industry leaders out of our clients.
As Director of Good Talent Media, Tony leads client strategy and sets a standard of excellence in service delivery; he’s passionate about helping for purpose organisations tell stories that build brands and change lives.
