Carat has made several internal promotions and formal title changes in a move aimed at bolstering the media agency’s executive leadership team.

As part of the string of appointments, effective immediately, Adriana Colaneri has been appointed chief marketing officer. Colaneri has been with Carat for more than 10 years, most recently in her capacity as national head of marketing. ANZ CEO, Simon Ryan, said her promotion reflects Carat’s local and global commitment to positioning the brand as a market leader.

Sarah James has also been promoted to chief digital officer from her former position as national head of digital. The new role positions her as the driving force behind Carat’s digital vision and she’s tasked with working closely with technology partners, global media partners and digital agencies to keep Carat clients up to speed with digital evolution.

Ashley Earnshaw will join Carat’s leadership team as chief investment officer and Sam Hegg will become chief strategy officer locally.

“I’m extremely pleased to further bolster the national Carat executive team with such fine, high-performing talent,” Ryan said. “This team has been built to not only support leadership and specialist divisions in each state, but to also add rigor and bench-strength at a senior level, ensuring our clients are properly serviced in this ever-changing convergent media landscape.”

Ryan added the new appointments come off the back of a successful 2015 for the agency, including winning over $115 million in new business.

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it’s the next generation of athletes are standing by what they believe in – and they won’t let their values be superseded by money.
