Officeworks has brought on 7 Eleven’s brand and digital marketing leader as its new general manager of marketing.
Jess Richmond joins the Officeworks team in what’s been called a newly created executive-level role, reporting director to managing director, Sarah Hunter. The position encompasses advertising, brand and CRM.
Most recently, Richmond was head of brand and communications at 7 Eleven, with responsibility for advertising, marketing, category marketing, packaging, brand and digital. Prior to this, she was head of digital marketing at Coles, where she also previously held campaign planning, category marketing and local marketing manager roles.
“It’s such an exciting time to join the business – our customers’ expectations and needs are changing faster than ever, against a backdrop of increasingly competitive environment,” Hunter said in a statement.
“Jess is an experienced retailer and marketing leaders who is hugely passionate about building on the strong foundation of the Officeworks brand to create a true connection with our customers. She will be instrumental in driving our marketing and brand forward.”
Richmond saw it as an exciting time to be in retail. “It’s a brilliant opportunity to help Officeworks continue its fantastic work on delivering a culture of customer-centric communications,” she said.
“I’m looking forward to building a deeper connection with our customers and exploring new ways to better understand and inspire them to make bigger things happen.”
Companies encounter a variety of challenges when it comes to marketing overseas. Marketing departments often don’t know much about the business and cultural context of the international audiences they are trying to reach. Sometimes they are also unsure about what kind of marketing they should be doing.
Using data is a hot topic right now. Leaders are realising data can no longer just be the responsibility of dedicated analysts or staff with ‘data’ in their title or role description.
It’s not that your agencies don’t have your best interests at heart – most of them do. But the only way to ensure they’re 100 per cent focused on your business and not growing theirs by scope creep is by setting the guard rails for healthy agency collaboration.
