CT Group welcomes Senior Director in Australia

Global consultancy, CT Group, has announced the appointment of Andrew Carswell as Senior Director in its Australian business. He will work across CT’s practices to strengthen client relationships and support both local and international companies in securing outcomes amid what the organisation describes as an increasingly fragmented and complex global environment.

Most recently he was Managing Director of a boutique strategic communications firm servicing Australian and international clients. Prior to that, Andrew was Head of Media and Communications and Press Secretary to Scott Morrison, and a senior journalist at News Corp, including at The Daily Telegraph, where he served as Chief of Staff.

Managing Director of CT Group Australia, Catherine Douglas, said: "Andrew is one of the best media operators and campaigners in Australia with an exceptional ability to translate actionable insights into outcomes. We are delighted to welcome someone of Andrew’s calibre and character to our team in Australia."
