Also welcomes new CPO amid company growth, client wins
Personalised video agency, Data Creative, has named former Publicis digital head, Matt Bates, as its new CMO, a move that coincides with the company's global expansion plans and a handful of company wins.
Bates brings over 16 years experience, focused on the design and implementation of technology and marketing solutions for large corporates.
“Bates is recognised for his ability to embrace and drive significant change, including sustainable improvement in people, as well as financial and organisational performance,” according to a company statement.
The organisation has also welcomed “seasoned technologist” Matt Merryfull as its new chief product officer (CPO). Merryfull is the former CTO of APN-backed Emotive and former technical director at Razorfish.
“Merryfull’s wealth of experience across the technology space is a welcome addition to the Data Creative senior team, providing valuable insight into the progression of video-based marketing and how this fledgling technology can take the necessary steps towards mass adoption,” the company said.
Data Creative founder Renece Brewster said the new senior appointments represent the company's increased focus on tech innovation and a push to take real-time personalised video to the enterprise market.
Brewster said the two senior appointments were a clear representation of the rapid growth Data Creative has experienced since its inception in July 2015.
“Matt Bates and Matt Merryfull both have successful foundation careers in the technology sector across software and platform development, plus valuable marketing and advertising industry experience, and will be instrumental in the next phase of Data Creative’s journey,” she said.
Alongside Data Creative’s new hires, the company has also welcomed a handful of new client wins to the personalised video space including Amnesty International, NAB, Personalised Plates Queensland, Dodo, TAB Corp, Daikin Australia and New Zealand, Melbourne University and the Geelong Football Club.

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.
