TEG has hired Chris Johnston as general manager of TEG Digital.

Johnston, formerly head of digital & data at Slingshot, will lead TEG Digital and Ticketek’s marketing operations as Karen Chapple leaves the business to become JAPAC senior director, CX strategy & business development, at Oracle.

TEG chief executive Geoff Jones said Chapple had "done a wonderful job during her six years with the organisation and leaves an enviable legacy at TEG. I wish her every success in the future."

Prior to Slingshot, Johnston was at Carat Australia as head of digital and direct for Woolworths and previously worked for McCann Erickson as a general manager.

Jones said Johnston "is an impressive operator who has both the drive and experience required to take this core area of TEG’s business to new heights, and more importantly, deliver outstanding results for our clients."
