Lee Naimo

Lee Naimo is currently the Head of Creative for Grouse House, as a home for Australian alternative comedy. Working alongside the team responsible for Aunty Donna’s Big Old House of Fun (Netflix) and Aunty Donna’s Coffee Café (ABC and Netflix), Lee is helping to create a support and distribution network for Australian comedy across screen, podcast, live and any other medium where audiences gather. Prior to this role he was the Head of Online at Games at Screen Australia for 7 years, managing a suite of funding programs and initiatives supporting emerging creatives. In this role he supported hundreds on online series and thousands of creators, and his unique view of the online storytelling landscape has given his a deep understanding of how to craft and market an online series to find an audience on platforms like YouTube, TikTok and more. He also lead Screen Australia’s return to games funding from 2022 to 2025, allocating over $13 million to over 140 games. Lee is also known for his work in the Axis of Awesome, as guitarist and singer. Their Four Chords song has hundreds of millions of views online, and is still used in classrooms as a teaching tool to this day. He has been creating online content since the early days of YouTube, and thoroughly enjoys using his experience to help Australian creators find their audience among the millions of hours of online content uploaded every day.
