For immediate release
Everett brings more than 30 years in media and content production leadership and establishes the firm’s presence in the Asia-Pacific region.
LOS ANGELES and MELBOURNE, Australia, July 21, 2026. Coastalview Advisory, Inc. (CVA) today announced that Troy Everett has joined the firm as Managing Partner, Asia-Pacific. Based in Australia, Everett will lead client engagements across the Asia-Pacific region, beginning with Australia and New Zealand, and will partner with the CVA team on work in the United States and globally where production and operating-model depth is central to the answer. His appointment gives the firm senior leadership on the ground in Asia-Pacific.
“Troy and I have worked together for more than a decade, first when he was our client, then as colleagues, and now as partners in this firm,” said Todd Brownrout, CVA Founder and Managing Partner. “Very few people understand content creation the way he does, from the brief all the way through production: where the cost sits, where the time goes, and what it takes to deliver at volume without letting quality slip. Just as important, he has earned a level of trust with clients that cannot be manufactured, and he is as well connected and as well regarded as anyone in the industry. Having him alongside me again, as a partner and as a friend, opens an exciting new chapter for CVA.”
Everett’s career spans media, broadcasting, agency, and brand content delivery, including 25 years with Fairfax Media and Rural Press, two of Australia’s most prominent publishing groups, where he led advertising production and operations through the country’s print-to-digital transition. In 2016 he crossed to the agency and production side, joining the business that became Madras Global and rising to Managing Director, and in 2021 he moved with the firm’s leadership team to Deloitte following Deloitte’s acquisition of the company. At Deloitte he was a Director at Deloitte Digital and led the Deloitte Digital Content Studio practice in Australia, where his remit covered production operations and client relationships for some of the region’s most demanding marketing organizations.
That combination of publisher-side and agency-side experience has given Everett deep relationships with senior marketing, procurement, and production leaders across automotive, retail, financial services, and media. He has also spent years inside operations, technology, and production delivery centers across India and Asia, and knows where offshore capability and AI-led delivery genuinely fit.
“I could not be more pleased to welcome Troy,” said Andrew Chan, Co-Founder and Partner at CVA. “His production depth complements the data, analytics, and platform work we do, and it adds senior leadership in a region where we are already active. He makes us a stronger firm on day one, and I am looking forward to growing CVA with him.”
Coastalview Advisory launched in February 2026 and now works with clients in the United States, Australia, and New Zealand. In under six months the firm has built engagements spanning pricing and product architecture, systems and technology strategy, and AI-enabled production operating models. Alongside Brownrout and Chan, the team includes Molly Kuehn Watson, Executive Advisor, Client Strategy, who brings four decades of agency and brand-side marketing leadership and guides the firm’s work with retail organizations. CVA delivers through an established network of production and engineering partners so that recommendations can be carried into implementation rather than stopping at the recommendation.
“This is the most interesting and most demanding period I have seen in thirty years of content production,” said Everett. “Marketing and content leaders are being asked to bring AI into operations that were never designed for it, and too much of the advice available to them ends at the strategy deck. What drew me to CVA is that the work continues into the production environment, and that we can put real delivery capability behind the advice when a client needs something built rather than described. Getting to build that with Todd again is a bonus.”
CVA’s advisory services span strategic insight, brand and content, operations and governance, data strategy and analytics, platform architecture, and content economics.
