Fane Australia Expands Business Offerings

Posted on by db

Fane Australia has expanded its business offerings with the appointment of a new Head of Partnerships, marking a pivotal moment in the company’s growth across the Australian and New Zealand markets.

Fane Australia’s Expansion into the ANZ Market

Fane Australia, a division of the Fane Group, plays a key role in delivering the Group’s renowned programming, which has positioned the Fane Group as a global leader in producing and curating in-conversation events and solo tours featuring some of the most prominent names in culture and entertainment. With offices in London and Sydney, the Fane Group operates across Europe, the USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Through transformative connections between artists and audiences, the Fane Group has solidified its reputation as the partner of choice for talent, publishers, and agents worldwide.

New Opportunities for Corporate Clients and Brands

This strategic expansion offers corporate clients and brands in Australia and New Zealand the opportunity to engage with world-class talent—often unavailable locally—for speaker bookings and exclusive collaborations. Past campaigns have included partnerships with prestigious brands such as Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and PwC, offering clients innovative opportunities in both brand collaborations and corporate speaker bookings with global talent.

Introducing the Head of Partnerships

Fane Australia has appointed Karan White as the new Head of Partnerships to lead this next phase of growth. White’s role will focus on overseeing partnerships, with a particular emphasis on speaker bookings and brand collaborations for touring artists. With more than a decade of experience across film, TV, publishing, radio, product launches, and events, White is ideally positioned to drive Fane Australia’s expanding business. Previously, she served as the inaugural Co-Vice Chair and Guiding Council Committee Member of the Australian Influencer Marketing Council (AiMCO), where she played a key role in developing the Australian Influencer Code of Conduct, shaping ethical standards for the industry.

Commenting on her appointment, White said,

“Joining Fane Australia is an exciting opportunity to build on the company’s success and create new avenues for artists and brands to connect in meaningful ways. I’m eager to bring my experience to a team that’s known for pushing boundaries in entertainment and business partnerships.”

Peter Richardson, Director of Fane Australia, added,

“Karan’s background in talent partnerships and her extensive industry network will be invaluable as we expand our artist tours for 2025 and beyond. Her expertise will help us provide clients with unique opportunities to engage with world-class talent not typically available in the Australian and New Zealand markets.”

A Vision for Growth and Industry Leadership

As Fane Australia continues to grow, White’s leadership will play a crucial role in strengthening existing relationships and forging new, dynamic partnerships with both global and local brands. Her appointment reinforces Fane Australia’s commitment to bringing world-class talent to Australian audiences and corporate events.
