Commonwealth Bank’s marketing and strategy leader, Vittoria Shortt, has been appointed CEO of the banking giant’s ASB Bank subsidiary in New Zealand.

Short, who has been with CBA since 2002, was appointed group executive of marketing and strategy in 2015, reporting directly to CEO, Ian Narev, and sitting on the executive leadership committee. Her 15 years with CBA also include a number of senior roles in both CBA as well as Bankwest. She took up the group marketing role in 2013, replacing Andy Lark.

Shortt is taking up the ASB reins from current ASB chief, Barbara Chapman, who is retiring. The role officially commences in February 2018 and sees Shortt relocating back to New Zealand.

Shortt was ranked 5th in the CMO50 for 2016.

In a statement, Narev said Shortt’s breadth of operating and functional experience during more than 15 years with the group shows the company’s commitment to developing high-calibre leaders.

“Vittoria has consistently demonstrated excellent values and delivered high-quality results,” he said. “The ASB board has chosen an ideal candidate to lead a business that has  thrived during Barbara Chapman’s tenure as CEO.”

An internal and external search is now underway for Shortt’s replacement. However, a CBA spokesperson confirmed it had officially promoted its head of consumer marketing and acting CMO, Monique Macleod, as chief marketing officer on 15 November in recognition of her growing responsibilities across the whole marketing function.

Macleod has been with CBA since 2008, and is currently reporting directly into Shortt.

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it’s the next generation of athletes are standing by what they believe in – and they won’t let their values be superseded by money.
