Podcasts about Optus

In this episode of the Cyber Uncut podcast, David Hollingworth is joined by Bethany Alvaro to talk about all things Australia and cyber security! The pair kick things off with some AI news. NVIDIA announced record earnings as the AI bubble steadfastly refuses to burst, and ChatGPT's curious new group chat feature. Hollingworth and Alvaro then talk about cyber crime, with scammers gleefully preparing to take advantage of Black Friday sales, Optus getting pinged over falling afoul of anti-scam legislation, and the Brotherhood ransomware group claiming two Aussie hacks in just one day. And we end on some good news. Australia, the UK, and the US have sanctioned a pair of Russian companies for providing a raft of services to hackers, and EU law enforcement actions have taken down more than a thousand malicious servers. Enjoy, The Cyber Uncut team

Some leaders build empires. Others build character. Guy Maine has done both, and rebuilt himself along the way. From launching Australia's prepaid mobile era at Optus and leading Virgin Mobile's turnaround, to driving Foxtel's shift from analogue to digital and starting an aviation business, Guy's path is full of bold moves and honest reflection. Today he brings that same energy to On The Monee, improving dignity for hospitality workers, while mentoring young Australians through the Raise Foundation. This episode isn't about titles or exits. It's about what stays when the rest falls away. Resilience. Courage. Clarity. And the discipline to keep showing up. Key highlights ~ The advice from his mother that shaped how he learns, works, and leads. ~ How he launched prepaid mobile in Australia and why persistence beats permission. ~ What the best leaders in his career had in common, and why humanity mattered more than authority. ~ The moment everything collapsed and how he rebuilt with grit and purpose. ~ Why mentoring through Raise gives him a sense of meaning no corporate result could match. Guy Maine's odyssey shows that leadership is not a straight climb. It is a constant act of becoming. Thank you, Guy, for joining me on Leadership Odysseys and for showing that courage, kindness, and clarity still matter.   Connect with Guy Maine: LinkedIn   Connect with On The Monee: LinkedIn | Website  Connect with Raise: LinkedIn | Website  This episode is brought to you by: Naturally Glutenfree Connect with Kirsty Gee:  LinkedIn |  Instagram | Website

WPP, Publicis Groupe, Omnicom, Interpublic, Havas and Dentsu have hitherto been known to adland as the "big six". However, the past year has brought the announcement of a proposed merger between Omnicom and IPG, while Havas and Dentsu have become comparatively smaller.So, the "big six" become the "big three", but is there another challenger? Accenture Song's latest results reported revenues of $20bn (£15bn) in the 12 months to August, putting it on par with Omnicom's $16bn, Publicis' €16bn ($19bn) and WPP's £15bn ($20bn). The business has picked up the $42m media account for Optus in Australia and remains in the running for Jaguar Land Rover's global integrated marketing account.With significant changes among the biggest holding companies continuing to shift the advertising landscape, some have questioned whether it is the end of the "big six", heralding the start of a new "big four". In this week's episode of The Campaign Podcast, Campaign's editor-in-chief Gideon Spanier, UK editor Maisie McCabe and media editor Beau Jackson, examine the potential outcomes. The episode is hosted by tech and multimedia editor Lucy Shelley.Further reading:Accenture is at a crossroads for its global agency ambitionsWhat's next for Accenture Song?
