Medibank has recruited former Kathmandu’s former CMO as its new group general manager of marketing and brand.
Tamalin Morton started as Medibank’s new marketing leader in December after a year as group general manager of sales and marketing at retailer, Kathmandu. She spent seven years at Kathmandu in total, originally as the group general manager of marketing.
Prior to this, Morton was brand strategy manager at Coles Group, marketing manager at Coles Express, and a brand manager at Bass plc.
Morton told CMO her top-line priorities will be to support the growth of Medibank in line with its business strategy, as well as build the brand platform and positioning around its ‘better health’ approach.
Medibank kicked off a ‘Generation better’ brand message in 2013, launching a series of complementary campaigns including its #genbetter social hashtag.
Morton said she felt a strong personal alignment with the Medibank brand and its customer-oriented purpose around ‘better health’.
Her appointment comes six months after former GM of marketing and digital, Chris Carroll, was promoted to GM of the group’s ahm Health Insurance brand. Medibank also appointed Douglas Brown as its GM of digital and data in September. He was formerly GM of strategy and innovation.
In an ASX statement following Morton's departure, Kathmandu announced it was promoting general manager of business development and sustainability, Paul Stern, to the new role of general manager, marketing online and international, from 1 December.
Stern has been with the retailer for five years and was previously the general manager of marketing at Kmart.
Medibank, Australia’s largest health insurance provider, listed on the Australian Stock Exchange last November after raising $5.7 billion through an institutional and retail offer. At the time, it was described as the largest float in Australia since Telstra’s $14 billion partial listing in 1997.
In the third and final episode of our 3-part CMO50 video series exploring modern marketing and why it’s become a matter of trust, we’re delighted to be joined by Telstra’s former CMO and now digital services and sales executive, Jeremy Nicholas, and Adobe VP Marketing Asia-Pacific and Japan, Duncan Egan.
Flash back to the classic film, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Television-obsessed Mike insists on becoming the first person to be ‘sent by Wonkavision’, dematerialising on one end, pixel by pixel, and materialising in another space. His cinematic dreams are realised thanks to rash decisions as he is shrunken down to fit the digital universe, followed by a trip to the taffy puller to return to normal size.
Why is it there is no shortage of leadership development materials, yet outstanding leadership is so rare? Despite having access to so many leadership principles, tools, systems and processes, why is it so hard to develop and improve as a leader?
As a nation united by sport, brands are beginning to learn money alone won’t talk without aligned values and action. If recent events with major leagues and their players have shown us anything, it’s the next generation of athletes are standing by what they believe in – and they won’t let their values be superseded by money.
