Former Deliotte marketer moves to Hootsuite
Former Deloitte marketer, Pamela Kemp, has been appointed local head of marketing for Hootsuite as part of a newly expanded leadership team.
Kemp will lead the social media management platform's marketing function in Australia and New Zealand. Hootsuite has also appointed former Dell, Oracle and Marketo executive, Heather Cook, as managing director and head of sales.
Kemp will use her 12 years of digital and content marketing leadership to champion Hootsuite’s digital marketing strategy and deliver seamless customer experiences, driving ROI. According to a statement, Kemp’s goal for the next 12 months is to develop a better-connected digital marketing community across A/NZ and support the conversation on how businesses can harness social media to deliver real customer and business value.
“Technology and psychology are rapidly converging and, when applied correctly, tech has the capability to help people, causes, brands and businesses connect and develop stronger relationships. Hootsuite and my profession has been at the forefront of this evolution and I love being a part of enabling these connections and seeing the positive impact they have on people and communities,” she said.
Roger Graham, head of Asia at Hootsuite said: “Our A/NZ brand and customers are extremely important to us at Hootsuite, and this is reflected in the strong relationships we have built with our community of digital marketers. Heather and Pamela will excel in their roles, helping our customers in A/NZ with solutions that drive ROI, deliver business value and enable great customer experiences. I’m delighted to welcome them both to Hootsuite, and can’t wait to see what they achieve here.”
Both Cook and Kemp have commenced their respective roles at Hootsuite A/NZ.

Big brands were once protected from small brands by high barriers to entry. Big brands had the resources to employ big agencies, to crack big ideas and to invest in big campaigns. They had the luxury of time to debate strategies and work on long-term innovation pipelines. Retailers used to partner with big brands.
According to the World Economic Forum in its most recent The Future of Jobs report, the most important skills for the future are not technical, task-oriented skills, but higher-order skills such as creativity, social influence, active learning, and analytical thinking.
Businesses continue to highly value the attention they buy through paid media, yet at the same time, many continue to disregard and under-value opportunities to connect with customers using their owned media.
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.
