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.”
In the third and final episode of our 3-part CMO50 video series exploring modern marketing and why it’s become a matter of trust, we’re delighted to be joined by Telstra’s former CMO and now digital services and sales executive, Jeremy Nicholas, and Adobe VP Marketing Asia-Pacific and Japan, Duncan Egan.
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.
