The Australian Association of National Advertisers (AANA) has appointed Lion’s Matt Tapper as the new chair of its board, replacing Telstra’s Inese Kingsmill.
Kingsmill, who is the telco’s director of consumer marketing, has been chair of the industry body since November 2012, and was acting chair nine months previously. She will continue as an AANA board member.
Tapper is the managing director of global markets for Lion’s Beer, Cider and Wine business, and was promoted to the role in August after five years as its national marketing director. He has been deputy chair for the last three years.
“I am inheriting a strong, united board thanks to Inese’s leadership,” he said in a statement. “The AANA is the peak national body for advertisers and together with Sunita [Gloster, CEO] and our members, we will continue to be highly active in promoting our core purpose of advertising self-regulation.
“It’s an exciting time for marketing and as leaders we need to keep working on building and elevating the reputation and communicating the contribution of our profession.”
The AANA said Andrea Martens, VP marketing and managing director for Unilever’s Home and Personal Care division has been elected as deputy chair, while its treasurer, Mark Reinke, group executive director for customer, data and marketing at Suncorp, remains in the role.
Kingsmill pointed to work done on the AANA’s new strategic plan, which has seen it refreshed and re-energised as an association.
“The continuity that Matt provides will be a great resource to support our CEO, Sunita Gloster, who has led the transformation of the AANA into the dynamic organisation it is today,” she said.
“I’m proud of the significant contribution we’ve all made toward elevating the marketing profession and strengthening the self-regulatory system for which we are responsible.”
The full AANA Board are:
Inese Kingsmill, director of consumer marketing, Telstra
Andrew Caie, general manager, marketing, Subaru
Mike Connaghan, CEO, STW Group
Jeremy Griffith, corporate affairs director, Carlton United Breweries
Thérèse Kallie, director communication and marketing excellence, Nestlé Australia
Bronwyn Powell, senior director of marketing, McDonald’s Australia
David Scribner, head of Virgin Mobile Australia
John Steedman, non-executive chairman, GroupM
Adrian Weimers, brand communications corporate manager, Lexus
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.
