Although Bec Brown’s growing PR business The Comms Department is still very much all about girl power, the gender balance has adjusted ever-so-slightly with the announcement that it has recruited a male executive.

That recruit is Michael Hickson who is departing SBS.

Based in Sydney, Hickson will be bringing his extensive PR and corporate comms skills and expertise to The Comms Department’s high-profile media, entertainment, travel and lifestyle clients.
