Jim Gall, Clemenger Group NZ CEO, acknowledged Stevens’ contribution in evolving the BrandWorld model from traditional broadcast channels to new, more personalised multi-screen environments.
“Richard and the platforms he has represented have remained relevant amidst major structural and cultural change in the media and advertising market. The continued success of Family Health Diary, Discover, Navigator and now Oxygen, are testament to his focus, energy and ingenuity.”
