A Brand for social justice
In 2020, brands did something they’d never done before: They spoke up about race.
Priorities include closing the loop on voice of customer and building brand advocacy
Ladbrokes Australia has appointed its first general manager of customer experience and innovation as part of efforts to build brand advocacy in the local market.
The new role is being held by Christian Bowman, who joined the business in March as head of customer experience after spending eight months as head of marketing and digital for SmartClinics, a network of 10 family medical centres in Queensland.
Prior to this, Bowman was head of marketing and digital and chief digital officer at RSPCA Queensland, and he’s also held digital strategy roles at Bond University and Achaeus Group.
In his new role at Ladbrokes, Bowman reports to the chief operating officer and is tasked with helping the organisation ensure continued market growth by attracting and keeping customers who become brand advocates.
To do this, Bowman said the group is adopting a design-thinking approach towards utilising customer feedback to inform and evolve product and service delivery.
Priorities include introducing a voice-of-customer strategy, educating and mobilising the organisation on customer experience design methodologies, and developing an innovation process to enable competitive advantage.
“There is a natural relationship between customer experience design, particularly with closing feedback loops as part of the voice-of-customer program, with innovation, where invariably actioning feedback and solving problems at the source, informs change in product and service,” he told CMO.
“A lot of what interests me is solving customer problems and creating new and innovative products which matches closes with my experience with new ventures and developing new programs which change business process.”

In 2020, brands did something they’d never done before: They spoke up about race.
‘Business as unusual’ is a term my organisation has adopted to describe the professional aftermath of COVID-19 and the rest of the tragic events this year. Social distancing, perspex screens at counters and masks in all manner of situations have introduced us to a world we were never familiar with. But, as we keep being reminded, this is the new normal. This is the world we created. Yet we also have the opportunity to create something else.
In times of uncertainty, people gravitate towards the familiar. How can businesses capitalise on this to overcome the recessionary conditions brought on by COVID? Craig Flanders explains.
