News Corp marketing director Bettina Brown quits after 15 years

News Corp marketing director Bettina Brown has resigned from her role, and will depart the company after 15 years.

Nicholas Gray, News Australia’s MD and publisher of the states and communities, said of Brown's departure: 

"Bettina will leave News Corp Australia at Christmas time with a profound legacy and our best wishes. 

"Her nearly fifteen years with us have been filled with great brand work and new marketing capabilities developed in-house such as creative, media and PR/talent, all of which have helped NCA's growth. 

“We have commenced an external and internal recruiting process to replace Bettina. She leaves huge (and stylish) shoes to fill, but this is an incredible opportunity for a great marketing leader.”

Brown also provided a statement about her resignation.

“I’ve had the ride of my life at News Corp Australia," she said.

“I couldn’t have asked for a more exciting, challenging or rewarding period of my career. And now it’s time to hand over the baton.

"We have an extraordinary depth of talent in the ranks so I can’t wait to see what comes next.

“I’m taking a long summer break when I finish at the end of the year and look forward to sharing my next move in 2027.”

Brown was general manager of marketing at David Jones for seven years before she joined News Corp.
