Carpet Court’s new chief marketing officer says reinforcing the brand and its entrepreneurial spirit as well as growing new areas of the business are top of her priority list.

Kara Norris has been appointed as marketing chief at the carpet retail franchise group, after recently completing a four-month stint at Dare Gallery as group marketing and special projects manager.

She has 25 years’ experience in sales, marketing and product roles, including 10 years with Forty Winks in several positions including group manager of product and marketing, category manager for furniture and national merchandise manager.

Migrating from South Africa to Australia in 2000, Norris also worked for Pacific Brands as national account manager for the Sleepmaker brand. Her international background includes several years as co-founder and shareholder of her family’s Dial a Bed business in South Africa.

In a statement, Norris said her main focus is to grow Carpet Court’s already successful and broadly positioned network.

“Carpet Court continues to lead Australians on their design journey, from the moment renovators seek expert advice and product knowledge, to the finishing installation,” she said.

“Through a vast range of marketing channels, including creative digital and social media campaigns, interactive in-store design hub experiences and ambassador endorsement, I’m looking forward to working closely with the team to reinforce the strength of the brand and exhibit the entrepreneurial spirit of our members.”

Norris also flagged plans to expand the organisation’s window solutions offering and looking to maintain significant growth over the next two years.

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it’s the next generation of athletes are standing by what they believe in – and they won’t let their values be superseded by money.
