Newport Capital Technology Insight Breakfast
Dear Colleague The keynote speaker for our breakfast will be Brad Keeling. Our first breakfast this year will introduce a new format – an interview. Brad will be interviewed by journalist and broadcaster, Carol Duncan. Brad was actively involved in the sometimes turbulent decades of new media, technology and telecommunications innovation. He is probably best known as one of the founders and joint CEO of the 1990’s teleco One.Tel. However, Brad cut his teeth in the world of direct marketing services in the 1970’s. He was Group Marketing Director for computer products company, Imagineering and Managing Director of Imagineering Telecommunications during the ‘80s. Then before One.Tel was founded in 1994, he was Managing Director of Strathfield Car Radios taking it from 6 to 60 stores to become Australia’s largest mobile phone retailer.

Brad Keeling will be interviewed by journalist and broadcaster, Carol Duncan.
Hear some interesting anecdotes from a sometimes roller-coaster ride inside the boom eras that brought us PCs, mobile phones and the internet. And hear thoughts on the new media and technology businesses emerging from the current real-time web and social media revolution. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

“The More Things Change, the More They Stay The Same”
By the early 1980’s, Brad was working in an industry that didn’t exist a decade earlier. Enter: the personal computer boom. By the late eighties, he had embraced the enormous potential of the rapid introduction of mobile telecommunications, and in the nineties it was the internet. Carol was most recently, until the infamous ABC cuts, the ‘Afternoons’ presenter on air on ABC Newcastle.
