How to Make the Right Call for Your Business Over the years recruiting senior marketers, I’ve had countless conversations with talented CMOs and Heads of Marketing who’ve landed what looked like dream roles—only to find themselves, just a few months in, bogged down in emails, briefing social posts, and fighting for buy-in. ❌ No real strategy. ❌ No room to innovate. ❌ No chance to make the impact their experience promised. It’s a frustrating mismatch—and often, a sign that the business wasn’t actually ready for senior marketing leadership in the first place. So, if you’re asking yourself “Do I need a CMO or a Marketing Manager?”, it’s worth stepping back and honestly assessing what your business needs right now. Before you hire, ask yourself: Does my business have a clear marketing strategy and structure already in place? A CMO can absolutely build this from scratch, but only if your leadership team is ready to support that process. Am I looking for someone to manage and execute, or to lead and innovate? If you're expecting hands-on delivery, a great Marketing Manager might be the better (and more cost-effective) choice. Are we ready for a leader who’ll challenge the status quo and drive change? A strong senior marketer will push for investment, process change, and long-term thinking. That’s their job—and they need executive-level backing to do it well. How mature is our current marketing team? A CMO without the right team beneath them often ends up doing the execution work themselves. Which isn’t what anyone wants. Is there alignment at the executive level about marketing’s role in growth? This is crucial . If the leadership team doesn’t understand or agree on marketing’s purpose, it’ll be near-impossible for any senior marketer to succeed. The Bottom Line Hiring a CMO isn’t just about finding someone senior—it’s about making sure your business is ready to unlock the value that comes with strategic marketing leadership. If you’re not quite there yet, that’s OK. A brilliant Marketing Manager who can execute, optimise, and grow with the business might be the perfect next step. But if you are ready for bold leadership, big thinking, and transformation—go ahead and hire that CMO. And give them the support they need to thrive. Because the right hire, at the right time, can be a game-changer. Contact Lucy Need help finding your next marketing or CMO role? We’re here to connect top talent with the right opportunities.

On Wednesday 4 June 2025, Lucy and New Chapter Talent rolled up their sleeves and got sandwich-making with a purpose. Alongside more than 20 other small business recruitment agency owners from Recruitment United — Australia’s fastest growing community for recruitment agency owners — the team joined forces with Eat Up Australia to make a real difference. The morning event, hosted at Eat Up’s Melbourne base, saw the group prepare 954 cheese sandwiches in under an hour — all destined for schoolchildren across Victoria doing it tough. Who is Eat Up Australia? Eat Up Australia is a not-for-profit organisation founded by Lyndon Galea . Their mission is simple but powerful: to feed the one in five Aussie kids who go to school hungry. Since its inception, Eat Up has delivered millions of lunches to children in need, thanks to the support of volunteers, schools, and partners across the country. Their work ensures that kids can focus on learning, laughing, and being kids — rather than worrying about where their next meal will come from. As the cost-of-living crisis continues to impact Australian families, teachers are increasingly stepping in to share their own lunches with students. It’s a heartbreaking reality — and one that Eat Up works tirelessly to change. Bringing the Recruitment Community Together The initiative was organised by Pete Watson , founder of Recruitment United. Pete’s goal? To bring together a community of like-minded recruitment business owners who not only support one another professionally but also show up for causes that matter. And show up they did. Laughter, teamwork and a fair bit of cheese filled the air as the group assembled sandwich after sandwich, each one a small act of kindness for a child in need. While the group narrowly missed their ambitious 1,000 sandwich target (running out of bread with just 46 to go!), the impact of the morning was undeniable. New Chapter Talent was proud to take part in such an uplifting and hands-on initiative. It was a chance to connect with an incredible community of recruiters, support an extraordinary organisation, and give back in a meaningful way. From all of us at New Chapter Talent — a huge thanks to Pete Watson for bringing the recruitment community together, and to Lyndon and the Eat Up Australia team for the incredible work you do. We were honoured to be a part of it! Learn more about Eat Up Australia and how you can support at eatup.org.au .

💡 CLIENT TIP ~ When it comes to recruitment, language is everything. Job seekers aren’t searching for “Marketing Generalist” or “Communications Officer” anymore — they’re typing in titles like:
🔸 Digital Performance Manager
🔸 Content Growth Lead
🔸 CRM & Lifecycle Specialist
🔸 Brand & Campaign Strategist
If you’re advertising a role, use modern, searchable titles that reflect what people are looking for (and what competitors are using). Otherwise, the perfect candidate might scroll right past.
Bonus tip: Keep the body of the ad clear and keyword-friendly, too. Google Jobs and LinkedIn’s algorithms notice!

🗞️ INSIGHTS ~ Eeeek… Ads sliding into our WhatsApp DMs?!
Not quite in the DMs (yet)... but Meta has officially started rolling out ads on WhatsApp — a move that marks a big shift from their original “ad-free” promise.
Ads will now pop up in the Updates tab, and Meta is testing promoted channels, paid subscriptions and more. And yes, Aussies are already seeing the change if they’ve accepted the new Terms and Conditions.
From a marketing point of view?
💡 A captive (or maybe held captive) audience of 1.5 billion daily users = serious cut-through potential.
But from a privacy perspective?
😳 There’s definitely a few question marks, especially as Australia tightens data protection laws with POLA.
It’s a big move in the world of digital advertising — and one that marketers, consumers and regulators alike will be watching closely. 👀
👉 How do you feel about it? Clever strategy… or crossing the line?

🗞️ INSIGHTS ~ The latest Digital, Marketing & eComm in Focus Report 2025 is here – and it's not pulling any punches.
Brought to you by Arktic Fox, and covered by MarketingMag’s Liam Heitmann-Ryce-LeMercier, this report dives deep into the state of Australian marketing – and the gaps we really need to close.
From the shaky trust in retail media to sluggish AI adoption and a shift away from brand-building, it paints a confronting picture of what’s holding marketers back.
Report author @teresasperti (GAICD) (👋 you might remember her from Series 1, Ep 10 of the CMO Chapters Podcast) offers clear insight into where we’re falling behind – and where we can move forward, fast.
👉 Just 14% of brands have a mature, unified customer view.
👉 Only 19% are scaling up AI for insights.
👉 Yet 75% are prioritising brand growth.
So… are we ready to bridge the gap between ambition and action?

In this episode, Lucy sits down with Liam Loan-Lack, former Chief Commercial & Strategy Officer at Match and Wood, for a sharp, honest take on what it really means to be a CMO in today’s world.
🎥 In this snippet, Liam pulls no punches:
💬 “Technology and marketing are now one and the same. But with that comes legal compliance, regulatory burdens, and financial accountability—and the CMO is stuck in the middle.”
If you've ever felt like the CMO role has become increasingly complex (and a bit confusing), this conversation will hit home.
✅ The blurring lines between marketing, tech, and finance
✅ The post-COVID budget squeeze no one’s talking about
✅ How CMOs can lead with clarity, empathy, and simplicity
✅ Why EQ matters more than ever

💬 BLOG ~ First-time speaker nerves? Absolutely. Powerful takeaways for marketers? You bet.
Earlier this month, Lucy (our fabulous Founder here at New Chapter Talent) stepped out of her comfort zone and onto the stage at the @brandwatch Bootcamp Melbourne – co-hosting a session with the brilliant @emmagrahamcareercoach on 'Future-proofing your marketing career: The skills you’ll need tomorrow'.

🔸 Build your visibility – in your company and beyond
🔸 Grow your network with intention
🔸 Know your value – and how to sell it!
✅ Plus, Lucy shared her experience of saying “yes” to something that scared her – and why it was so worth it.

📢 CANDIDATES ~ Here's our Thursday Tip: Interview Edition... helping marketers show off their impact, not just their responsibilities!
You sit down. The interviewer smiles and says:
🗣️ “So… tell me about yourself.”
Cue the awkward internal panic.
Here’s how to nail that opening line and leave a lasting impression...
❌ Don’t do this:
“I’ve worked in marketing for 8 years. I’ve done social media, content and events. I’m looking for a new challenge.”
😴 (Yawn. Vague. Forgettable.)
✅ Do this instead:
“I’m a brand marketer with 8 years’ experience driving awareness and engagement for FMCG brands like X and Y. Most recently, I led a rebrand project that grew market share by 12%. I love working at the intersection of creativity and commercial strategy – and I’m excited about roles where I can scale that impact.”
🙌 (Clear. Commercial. Memorable.)
Our tip: Use the Present → Past → Future format.
→ Present: Who you are and what you’re doing now.
→ Past: Key achievements.
→ Future: What you’re looking for next.

🗞️ INSIGHTS~ ChatGPT just changed the game for ecommerce — and marketers need to pay attention.
This week, OpenAI rolled out a new feature that lets users shop directly inside ChatGPT — no ads, no rabbit holes, just clean, helpful product recommendations powered by structured data.
💬 That means search is turning into conversation — and discovery is no longer confined to browsers and marketplaces.
Bronwyn Heys, CEO of the Australian Marketing Institute, breaks down what this means for marketing teams:
✅ Structured product data is your new SEO
✅ AI-native visibility is non-negotiable
✅ Your brand story must translate into natural conversation
The takeaway? It’s time to 'Think AI First'.
This shift isn’t a trend — it’s a total reset of the funnel.

What do you do when the quarter wraps up, the Easter break is around the corner, and you’re a small business or sole trader needing a debrief (preferably with a drink in hand)?
You catch up with someone who gets it.
Last week, @vividrecruitment and New Chapter Talent did just that - a good ol’ chinwag about the year so far, a few laughs, and a reminder that we’re all in this together.
Big thanks to initiatives like Recruitment United for small agency owners (and the small fact that we share a fab marketing manager) for making this kind of support not just OK, but encouraged.
Here’s cheers to community, connection and a new quarter. Thanks for the catch-up, Nicholas Koop! Sorry, we missed you, Lee Stevens.

💬 BLOG ~ Hiring Managers, take note...
Are top marketing candidates skipping your job postings? If your advert has 200+ applicants, chances are 47% of potential candidates are holding back - assuming their application will get lost in the crowd.
The truth? The best talent might not be applying at all.
🔎 70% of the global workforce is passive talent - open to the right opportunity but NOT job-hunting in the traditional way.
This is where a strong recruitment strategy makes all the difference. Investing in a recruiter means:
✔️ Access to high-calibre, passive candidates
✔️ Less time wasted on sorting through CVs
✔️ A stronger, more effective hiring process
If you want the best talent, not just the most visible, it's time to rethink your approach.

🗞️ INSIGHTS ~ CMO Check-In: Is your brand winning on perception?
Here are some thoughts from Umesh Panchal via CMSWire - customers aren’t choosing brands based on tiny product differences. They’re choosing based on how they feel about your brand. And that’s where perception beats perfection.
🔹 People pick brands they trust, not necessarily the ones with the flashiest features.
🔹 A simple, consistent message makes your brand memorable.
🔹 When everything looks the same, branding is the game-changer.
Think about it - when was the last time you bought something just because it had more features? Chances are, you went with the name you knew and felt good about. That’s the power of perception.
As Umesh puts it: “An okay product with a standout brand can beat a perfect one that’s forgettable.”
So, how’s your brand showing up? Are you the name people recall first? If not, it’s time to build a brand that sticks.
💬 We’d love to hear from you - tag a marketing leader who nails brand perception, or drop your thoughts below!

🗞️ INSIGHTS ~ "Visual media needs a masculinity makeover"
For years, masculinity in media has been shaped by traditional ideals - strong, tough, dominant. But is that still how men see themselves today?
Getty Images' Kate R. unpacks the shifting landscape of modern masculinity in her latest piece for MarketingMag, revealing that Aussie men are rewriting the rules.
From prioritising work-life balance over career success to valuing empathy and emotional intelligence as markers of strength, the data tells a powerful story.
So, what does this mean for marketers?
The visual representation of men is lagging behind reality. While consumers embrace a more nuanced, authentic masculinity, brands are still leaning on outdated tropes.
In fact, ‘businessmen’ remains a top search term, despite data showing that lifestyle-driven images are now in higher demand.
The takeaway? If brands want to connect, they need to reflect real men - diverse, emotional, and evolving - not just outdated stereotypes.
Read the full article here👇
marketingmag.com.au/featured/visual-media-needs-a-masculinity-makeover/
As a marketer, do you agree? How do you think masculinity should be portrayed in brand marketing today?

On Saturday (and actually, everyday) we celebrated International Women's Day! Here's what we know... we need to #AccelerateAction for Gender Equality...
However, at the current rate, it will take five generations - until 2158 - to reach full gender parity. That’s far too long. Change needs to happen now.
This International Women’s Day, we’re stepping forward to #AccelerateAction - because small shifts today can create big changes for the future.
✨ “There is no limit to what we, as women, can accomplish.” ✨
– Michelle Obama
Has there been progress? Flexible work and WFH policies have been game-changers for working mums, helping to level the playing field by making careers more accessible and sustainable. But there’s still work to do.
In Australia, women still earn, on average, 21.7% less than men in total remuneration. That means for every $1 a man earns, a woman takes home just 78 cents. This gap widens further for mothers, who often face the ‘motherhood penalty’ - reduced earnings and career progression due to caregiving responsibilities.
It’s time to Accelerate Action and push for pay transparency, flexible career pathways, and workplaces that truly support women at every stage of their careers. 💜

🗞️ INSIGHTS ~ If AI-generated content is everywhere, how do you make yours stand out?
AI is transforming marketing - streamlining workflows, generating insights and accelerating content production. However, relying too much on AI can lead to generic, formulaic content that lacks originality and human connection.
What is the key to making AI work for you?
Strong prompt writing.
🔹 A vague prompt = generic results
🔹 A clear, strategic prompt = insightful, high-quality content
How to get the best results from AI:
🔸 Be specific
🔸 Guide the AI
🔸 Add the human touch
This MarketingMag article by Murat Akyol, VP of Product, Bynder, explores how marketers can use AI effectively - enhancing creativity, not replacing it.
Because the future of marketing belongs to those who know how to combine technology with human expertise.

🗞️ INSIGHTS ~ Rethinking EVPs: Is Your Employer Brand a Window or a Mirror?
A strong Employee Value Proposition (EVP) isn’t just about attracting talent - it’s about keeping the talent you already have.
But too often, EVPs sound like they’ve been polished by the corporate jargon machine, missing the mark on what truly makes a company special.
Carlos Jonmundsson from Focus Group highlights the magic formula:
✅ Research – Real conversations, not just boardroom brainstorms
✅ Storytelling – Capturing what it feels like to work at a company
✅ Authenticity – A message that resonates both inside and out
Take William Buck’s ‘I Am’ campaign. Instead of generic promises, it celebrated real employees, their experiences, and their impact - turning the firm’s culture into a compelling recruitment story.
The result? A campaign that didn’t just live on LinkedIn but hit the streets, showcasing what truly makes William Buck unique.
🔹 The lesson? The best EVPs are windows, giving candidates a transparent view inside, rather than mirrors reflecting what companies think people want to hear.
How does your company approach EVP? Time to rethink the script?
