Former Best & Less CEO joins ranks of marketers recognised for their career-long contribution to the marketing profession
Former Best and Less CEO and current non-executive director at Woolworths, AMP, Australia Post and Nine Entertainment, Holly Kramer, has been awarded for her career-long contribution to marketing at the annual Australian Marketing Institute (AMI) Awards this week.
Kramer was awarded the Sir Charles McGrath award, the highest award for the marketing profession, at the 34th annual Awards for Marketing Excellence, attended by 350 industry professionals in Sydney on 20 October.
Saying she was honoured to receive the accolade, Kramer highlighted the importance of marketing championing the customer in their organisation.
“Customer centricity is more important in business now than ever before, so the work of the AMI should certainly be acknowledged and applauded,” she said.
Certified Practising Marketer of the Year went to Nicolle Jenkins, managing director of The Hub Marketing Communications, while the Future Leader Award was handed to Mercer’s marketing and communications consultant, Rosie Anderson.
Meat and Livestock Australia’s ‘The Most Successful Lamb Campaign Ever’, and Melbourne University’s ‘Revitalising a 160-year-old Brand’ also took out joint honours for Marketing Program of the Year, recognised for their innovative approach in delivering brand awareness.

Many marketers, agencies - and everyone in between - get caught up on bubble references and data points. They’ll use Facebook best practice as the only best practice for Facebook executions and only consider metrics and responses of the one channel they’re expected to deliver on.
A few weeks ago, our Prime Minister, Scott Morrison took it upon himself to tell companies and their CEOs where to go when it came to societal issues. It wasn’t an organisation’s place to get involved. Instead, he said it should be left to governments to solve societies challenges.
A study published in The Harvard Business Review found the time spent in collaborative activities at work has increased by over 50 per cent in the past two decades. Larger projects; complicated problems; tighter timeframes: These require bigger teams with specialised skillsets and diverse backgrounds, often dispersed globally.
In this bonus last episode of this new podcast series, BrandHook MD, Pip Stocks, talks with former ANZ group general manager of marketing, Louise Eyres, talks about the importance of thinking like a customer and using intuition to solve customer painpoints.
