Appointment follows the departure of former marketing and strategy head, Tina Fisher, who has taken a general management role in the hotel industry
Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand (formerly Institute of Chartered Accountants) has confirmed it has appointed former News Corp head of strategy and research, Julie Gillam, as its head of marketing and strategy following the departure of Tina Fisher.
Fisher (pictured), who was Chartered Accountant's general manager of sales and marketing, has swapped the professional association for hotel management and has been appointed general manager at the Crowne Plaza Canberra. She spent four years the professional association and was responsible for brand and marketing strategy, sales, digital and design, careers and member marketing and customer service.
Fisher built her marketing credentials in the hospitality sector and was formerly the director of marketing for Accor Hospitality Australia for two-and-a-half years, responsible for aligning local business with global brand strategy. Her 25-year career also includes marketing stints with Southern Sun Hotels in Africa, as well as hotel and resorts firm, Wyndham Worldwide.
The role at Crowne Plaza, which commenced on 15 September, is returning to familiar ground for Fisher, who oversaw the brand during her 10 years with Southern Sun Hotels. She replaces Matt Anderson, who took up the general manager’s post at Crowne Plaza Newcastle in February.
“I look forward to leading the hotel team in delivering the same excellence in service and facilities for which Crowne Plaza Canberra is renowned, and encouraging locals and visitors to experience our first-class offerings,” Fisher said in a statement.
A spokesperson for Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand told CMO Fisher has already been replaced at the organisation by new general manager of brand, marketing and communications, Julie Gillam, with strategy being absorbed into the role.
Gillam had been with News Corp for six years, and headed up strategy and research for News Limited for the past two years. She was previously marketing director at the media giant, and also spent three years with SBS television as marketing manager.
CMO has requested comment from News Corp on Gillam's replacement.

Our latest CMO 2022 readiness episode on the great resignation and staff motivation and leadership is now live!
Companies encounter a variety of challenges when it comes to marketing overseas. Marketing departments often don’t know much about the business and cultural context of the international audiences they are trying to reach. Sometimes they are also unsure about what kind of marketing they should be doing.
Using data is a hot topic right now. Leaders are realising data can no longer just be the responsibility of dedicated analysts or staff with ‘data’ in their title or role description.
It’s not that your agencies don’t have your best interests at heart – most of them do. But the only way to ensure they’re 100 per cent focused on your business and not growing theirs by scope creep is by setting the guard rails for healthy agency collaboration.
