Gaye Steel
NGEN PLUS Boomtown Masterclass Training Facilitator
The Boomtown Masterclass has really benefitted our NGEN community, consistently receiving excellent feedback for both the insights it delivers on buying regional media and the energetic & engaging delivery of presenter Gaye Steel.
The live panel with industry leaders has been a welcome addition, with NGENers learning the power of investing in Boomtown through real live case studies.
Melanie Aslanidis
Head of NGEN
We know that investment into regional markets is under-represented and often can be deprioritised, and while there can be many reasons that influence this, one barrier I have found is at times a lack of a deep understanding of regional markets and their strength in delivering reach. This masterclass series is a great step forward in educating the next generation of media professionals.
Jo Fawkner
Head of Investment, Zenith – Melbourne & Brisbane and NGEN PLUS Boomtown Masterclass Q&A panellist
The Boomtown Masterclass was super insightful and has definitely made me reconsider my media approach and how we can incorporate more regional towns.
Ashley Maloney

What I loved most about the Boomtown Masterclass is that the hosts were evidently passionate about Boomtown, which made for an engaging and insightful session, and inspired me to rethink how I should approach planning regional media
