Former agency leader says moving to client side brand leadership position will be challenging
After a short sabbatical and a career in agencies, Adam Lee has become the first chief marketing and commercial officer at RT Health Fund.
Lee said he was attracted to the role because, after a career in agency roles, this provided something very different and, quite frankly, challenging.
“Going client side will be a big learning curve for me, and I am excited by that,” he said.
Lee previously held roles as managing director at McCann, group head at Whybin TBWA, and business director at Ogilvy & Mather.
“After taking a much needed break from over 20 years of continuous work, I’m really happy to be starting the new year with RT Health Fund,” he said.
“Founded by a handful of progressive thinking railway workers way back in 1889, RT is Australia’s first registered health fund. It is a not-for-profit organisation that works solely for the benefit and care of its members. I immediately liked its story, heritage, values and purpose.
“I’m also excited to be working with RT’s team of talented executives led by CEO, Simone Tregeagle.”

As the ‘Asian century’ becomes ever more prevalent and the Fourth Industrial Revolution gathers speed, marketers are having to surf a tidal wave of creative destruction. The choice is stark: Embrace change, or resign yourself to a Darwinian fate.
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.
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.
Congratulations! So good to see a business turnaround with a good omni channel email lead strategy.Antanthonyidle.com
