NAB’s CMO, Sandra de Castro, has left the banking group after more than four years as its marketing chief.

A spokesperson for the bank confirmed her resignation. CMO understands she left the banking group two weeks ago.

De Castro was appointed CMO in November 2010 after spending about 18 months as executive general manager of strategy and marketing for business banking. In September 2013, she was also put in charge of NAB’s customer value proposition, shaping strategy and managing execution.

One of de Castro’s biggest achievements was supporting the bank’s work to become a more customer-centric organisation, a vision which culminated in its ‘break-up’ campaign, which launched in February 2011. The campaign has been widely recognised as a strong example of an integrated and impactful marketing program that helped NAB to revitalise its consumer brand image.

“During her time with NAB, Sandra and her team led the award-winning ‘break-up’ campaign which has had a significant and lasting impact on our business, customers and the industry,” the NAB spokesperson stated.

“NAB wishes Sandra well in the next stage of her career.”

NAB did not comment on whether it was now seeking a replacement for de Castro in the role of CMO.

Prior to joining NAB, de Castro spent 15 years with strategy consulting group, Corporate Value Associates, rising to partner. During this time, she worked with an array of financial services and banking clients including ING.

It is understood de Castro will take a break before taking up new professional opportunities.

Marketing prowess versus the enigma of the metaverse

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.

More than money talks in sports sponsorship

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it’s the next generation of athletes are standing by what they believe in – and they won’t let their values be superseded by money.
