Danielle Hamilton steps into head of marketing role with the banking group.
ING Australia has appointed former Samsung marketer, Danielle Hamilton (nee Palmer), as its new head of marketing.
Hamilton joins ING with a strong background in consumer and retail marketing covering global brands such as Samsung and Chobani as a client-side marketer, and Budweiser, Ikea, KFC and Huggies on the agency side.
Hamilton spent just over 18 months as head of marketing for Samsung. Prior to this, she held various marketing roles in the three years she spent at Chobani. ING Australia head of retail, Melanie Evans, said ING prides itself on recruiting the best possible leaders from a variety of backgrounds.
“Our first priority is looking for people who share our obsession for helping customers get ahead,” she told CMO.
“We are always on the look out for talented leaders with backgrounds beyond financial services; that’s how we build a diversity of thinking that best serves our customers and our people.
“We want to keep building on the unique position we occupy in Australia’s banking market, so naturally we were looking for a marketing leader with experience in consumer and brand led businesses.”
ING Australia serves more than two million customers across daily banking, home loans, credit cards, personal loans, superannuation and insurance.

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.
