On Thursday 11 September , more than 90 marketers, founders, students, and industry leaders came together in Melbourne for The Future of Marketing panel event hosted by The Marketing Club AU/NZ . The evening explored what’s next for our industry across content, brand, AI, recruitment, education, strategy, and research , with insights from some of the brightest minds in marketing. We were proud to see Lucy Bolan, Director of New Chapter Talent , representing the recruitment and hiring perspective, joining an incredible line-up of speakers. Panel 1: Fresh Thinking in Marketing 🎙️ Ebony Tewierik – Senior Marketing Manager, KeepCup 🎙️ Ebony Coatsworth – Social Media Executive, Melbourne Social Co 🎙️ Sarah No – Director of Brand & Marketing, BlueRock 🎙️ Indianna Symons – Executive Podcast Producer, Lost in Sound Panel 2: The Future of Marketing Careers 🎙️ Lucy Bolan – Director, New Chapter Talent 🎙️ Catherine Toms – Founder, AI Growth Academy 🎙️ Daniel Rayne – Marketing Lecturer, RMIT University 🎙️ Casey Kudrenko – Strategic Client Partner, Ideally Together, both panels shared powerful perspectives on where marketing is heading and how individuals and teams can stay ahead of the curve. A Bubble Bath of Change When asked to describe the current state of the industry, Lucy summed it up in one memorable line: 👉 “A bubble bath of change!” That opening sentiment, along with those of the panellists, sparked a rich discussion about the pace of transformation and the opportunities it presents for marketers who are ready to adapt. Hiring Trends Under the Spotlight Lucy also highlighted the key shifts she’s seeing in marketing recruitment: AI & Upskilling – Employers want marketers who can embrace martech, improve efficiency, and use insights to drive personalisation. ROI Under Pressure – Marketers are under more scrutiny than ever to prove the commercial impact of their work. T-Shaped Marketers – Specialists with deep expertise and strong knowledge across the wider marketing mix (brand, SEO, content, performance, CRM) are highly sought after. Soft Skills Matter – Curiosity, bravery, and innovative thinking are becoming just as important as technical expertise. Key Takeaways from the Evening Across both panels, a number of consistent themes emerged—practical, actionable advice that every marketer can apply: AI is here to stay - embrace it Pair AI with a strong brand strategy to ensure consistency and authenticity Emotional intelligence matters - stay focused on the people you’re trying to connect with Networking is critical to the future of marketing Stay curious and keep learning Soft skills will set you apart in a competitive recruitment market Listen more - the best marketers pay attention before they act Don’t be afraid to ask for help or seek clarity by asking questions Strive to be a T-shaped marketer with both deep expertise and broad knowledge Adaptability is key - be ready to pivot with change Find a mentor to help you grow and navigate your career Insights & Connection From the rise of AI and automation to the enduring importance of creativity and human connection, both panels left attendees with practical strategies to help future-proof their careers. And beyond the insights, the networking was just as valuable. With more than 90 attendees, the room buzzed with conversation, ideas, and new connections between marketers, students, founders, and hiring managers. Thank You A huge thank you to The Marketing Club AU/NZ for curating such a forward-thinking event, to Lost in Sound for partnering and supporting with their expertise in podcasting and content, and to BlueRock for generously hosting us in their Melbourne space. Events like these show just how powerful it is when the marketing community comes together to share ideas, collaborate, and imagine the future. At New Chapter Talent , we’re committed to helping marketers thrive through change, whether that’s taking the next step in their career or building future-ready teams. Lucy’s contribution to The Future of Marketing was part of that mission, and we’re excited to keep these conversations going.
As the marketing job market begins to show signs of recovery in Australia and New Zealand, many professionals are brushing off their CVs and stepping back into the interview room after months—or even years—away. But here’s the challenge: knowing your experience inside-out doesn’t always mean you can clearly communicate it under pressure. At New Chapter Talent, we’ve noticed a recurring theme with marketers we support: the STAR technique (Situation, Task, Action, Result)—a framework many interviewers expect—is often misunderstood or underused. And when nerves or self-doubt creep in, it becomes even harder to tell your career story with confidence. Whether you’re a Marketing Manager, Digital Specialist, or Head of Brand, here’s how you can prepare and deliver STAR-powered interview answers that make you stand out. Why the STAR Technique Matters for Marketing Interviews The STAR technique helps structure your answers so hiring managers can quickly understand not just what you did , but how you did it and the measurable impact. Situation : Provide context—what was happening? Task : What were you responsible for? Action : What did you actually do? Result : What was the outcome, ideally with metrics? In marketing interviews, this framework is especially valuable. It allows you to highlight creativity, problem-solving, and business impact while avoiding rambling or getting stuck in unnecessary detail. 5 Practical Tips to Nail Your STAR Responses Here are some actionable steps we’ve been sharing with our marketing network: 1. Put Pen to Paper List your top three accomplishments from your last role. What was the mandate? How did you deliver it? What were the results? For example: “I was tasked with revitalising customer engagement. I led the rollout of a new CRM program, introducing segmentation and automation. As a result, email open rates increased by 25% and churn reduced by 12% within six months.” 2. Reflect on Challenges Think about three significant challenges you’ve faced in your career. How did you navigate them? Marketing roles often involve tight budgets, shifting consumer trends, or new tech adoption—these are great opportunities to showcase adaptability and resilience. 3. Show Stakeholder Influence Marketing isn’t just about campaigns—it’s about collaboration. Prepare an example where you influenced a senior stakeholder, brought a cross-functional team onside, or shifted a business mindset. This shows leadership and strategic influence beyond day-to-day delivery. 4. Practice Out Loud It might feel awkward at first, but practising your answers out loud will help you tighten your delivery. Aim to be clear, concise, and confident. Try recording yourself or running through answers with a recruiter, mentor, or trusted friend. 5. Ditch the Jargon Avoid buzzwords like “synergy,” “best-in-class,” or “cutting-edge.” Instead, talk about impact in real, relatable terms. Employers are far more impressed with results than with corporate clichés. Common Mistakes Marketers Make in Interviews Through countless interview coaching sessions, we’ve noticed a few pitfalls: Overloading on detail – STAR answers should be sharp and structured, not an essay. Focusing on tasks, not outcomes – Results are what count. Did you increase ROI? Drive engagement? Improve brand equity? Undervaluing soft skills – Influence, collaboration, and resilience are just as critical as campaign results. Not tailoring answers – Align your examples with the specific role and company. Final Thoughts Interviewing is a skill—and like any skill, it improves with preparation and practice. If it’s been a while since your last interview, don’t leave it to chance. Rehearse with a recruiter, mentor, or trusted colleague. Mock interviews can surface blind spots and help you sharpen your story. In a competitive marketing job market, mastering the STAR technique could be the difference between blending in and standing out. By reflecting on your achievements, practising delivery, and focusing on real impact, you’ll be ready to tell a compelling career story that resonates with employers. ✅ Looking for your next marketing role in Australia or New Zealand?

In the world of marketing recruitment , it’s not uncommon to hear senior professionals say: “It’s been years since I’ve had to formally interview; my last few roles all came via a tap on the shoulder.” And while that may sound like the dream scenario – being directly approached, skipping the panel interviews, and sliding straight into a new role – it can also be a dangerous shortcut. At New Chapter Talent, we’ve seen firsthand how skipping a formal marketing interview can lead to misalignment, frustration, and even short-lived appointments. The Allure of the “Tap on the Shoulder” For many senior marketers, opportunities often come through networks, reputation, or past colleagues. That “tap on the shoulder” can feel flattering – a recognition of your experience and track record. But here’s the risk: without a structured process, both sides miss the chance to properly test alignment. Recently, I spoke to a senior marketer three months into a new role. Their story was all too familiar: A few coffees with the GM Some warm, unstructured conversations An offer on the table No formal interview. No panel. No testing of values or expectations. The result? They’re now miserable. The role wasn’t what was promised; they’re being micromanaged, and the cultural alignment simply isn’t there. Why Interviews Still Matter for Senior Marketing Roles Even if you’re highly experienced, interview readiness is crucial. Interviews aren’t just about impressing the employer – they’re also about protecting your own career. Here’s what a structured process gives you: A chance to ask tough questions – about leadership style, company culture, resources, and expectations. The opportunity to identify red flags early – before you resign from your current role or commit to something that isn’t the right fit. Alignment on scope and priorities – so you don’t step into a role that looks completely different once you start. A level playing field – ensuring you’re assessed fairly alongside other candidates, not just hand-picked without scrutiny. The Cost of Skipping the Process When senior marketers bypass the interview stage, it can lead to: Misaligned expectations between the employer and employee Higher turnover in marketing leadership roles Frustration on both sides Damage to reputation if things don’t work out Sometimes, the most flattering offer is the one you should treat with the most caution. How to Prepare for Senior Marketing Interviews If it’s been years since your last formal interview, don’t panic – but don’t go in unprepared either. Here are some quick steps to boost your interview readiness : Refresh your story – Be clear about your achievements, leadership style, and the value you bring. Do your research – Understand the company’s market position, growth strategy, and challenges. Prepare questions – Go beyond surface-level queries. Ask about team dynamics, decision-making processes, and measures of success. Practice – Even experienced marketers benefit from a mock interview to sharpen their delivery and boost their confidence. Final Thoughts The interview process is not just a box-ticking exercise – it’s a safeguard. It helps both companies and candidates make better, more informed decisions. So, while the “tap on the shoulder” can feel flattering, skipping interviews can cost you far more than a few hours of nerves. At New Chapter Talent, we work with senior marketing professionals across Australia and New Zealand to ensure the right match between talent and opportunity – not just a quick appointment. Because the right role should feel like a long-term partnership, not a short-term misstep. Contact Lucy Ready to start your next chapter? Looking for a new role?

💡 INTERVIEW TIP ~ Ever had an interview that was all over the shop?
No structure. No clear questions. No vibe. 😬
You walk in (or log on), ready to impress, but five minutes in, you’re wondering if they know why you're both there.
But here’s the thing – these types of interviews happen all the time in Marketing Recruitment. And they’re not always a dealbreaker.
👉 Sometimes the person interviewing you is underprepared.
👉 Sometimes it’s just a chaotic day in a chaotic business.
👉 And sometimes… it’s a bit of a red flag.
But the good news? You can still turn it around (and even take control – in a good way).
🧭 Try gently steering things back on track:
→ “Would it help if I started with a quick overview of my recent marketing experience?”
→ “I’d love to understand more about how this role fits into the team – could you tell me a bit about the structure?”
These prompts show initiative, professionalism, and calm under pressure – all qualities that matter in marketing jobs.
And remember — you’re not just being interviewed.
You’re interviewing them, too.
Use the moment to take stock:
✅ Does the vibe match the job ad?
✅ Do they seem aligned as a team?
✅ Are they engaged and respectful of your time?
Every interview – even the messy ones – is a chance to learn something.
At New Chapter Talent, we specialise in Marketing Recruitment in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane – so if you’re navigating your next move and want someone in your corner, we’re here.

LUCY’S BACKKKKKKKK…! 🎉
The New Chapter Talent gang is very excited to have Luce back in town and back at her desk (yay for us… probably less of a yay for Lucy 😅).
Today has been all about catch-ups, inbox triage, and probably a coffee or three — but we’re absolutely buzzing to have the full team back together.
If you’re on the hunt for your next marketing hire or looking for your next role, now’s a great time to get in touch with Lucy.
If she doesn’t get back to you immediately, don’t stress — she will. It just might take a little longer than usual while she digs herself out of the inbox mountain.

💡 INSIGHTS ~ Behavioural science isn’t just for selling lattes and trainers — it’s just as powerful in B2B.
In a recent Marketing Week article, Richard Shotton unpacks why biases like the illusion of effort and the red sneakers effect still shape big-ticket B2B decisions — from cybersecurity to software.
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐥𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐄𝐟𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭
Buyers were shown the exact same ad for a fictional cybersecurity company — but with different backstories.
When told it took 3 months (and involved a Japanese origami artist 😮), trust in the brand jumped 55% compared to when told it was whipped up by AI in 10 minutes.
📣 Takeaway: In B2B, perception of effort still builds trust. Tell the story behind the work.
𝐑𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐧𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐄𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭
A presenter in red trainers and sweats was rated 43% more competent than one in a sharp blue suit.
📣 Takeaway: Non-conformity signals confidence. Breaking the mould can be a powerful brand asset — even in the boardroom.
These biases don’t disappear just because the stakes are higher. As Shotton says, “B2B buyers are still fallible humans, just wearing work clothes.”
A must-read for marketers who want to connect more deeply with decision-makers...

🎙️ In case you were expecting a new drop, there is no new episode of the CMO Chapters Podcast today…
While Lucy’s off living her best life on holiday, we’ve decided the podcast dream team (aka Matthew Bliss and Annie) deserve a little R&R too.
But don’t worry — we’re not leaving you hanging for long!
Come September, we’ll be back in your ears with two brilliant new episodes featuring two absolute powerhouses in marketing:
🔸 Louise Cummins ~ Award-winning CMO and recognised AI strategist, Louise has led transformation across global and national brands and now helps leaders navigate the next wave of change: AI-powered reinvention.
🔸 Stacey Maher ~ A proven business leader with 20+ years' experience driving growth through customer-focused strategies. Stacey knows how to lead cross-functional teams, deliver digital transformation, and build brand loyalty across B2B and B2C.
Trust us — these eps are worth the wait.

One week down, one week to go until Lucy returns from her well-earned break… and in the meantime, someone’s got to keep the wheels turning at New Chapter HQ.
Enter: Darcy - the British Bulldog – Executive Assistant, Head of Sniffing Out Talent, and now Acting Director of Absolutely Everything. 🐶💼
This week alone, Darcy has:
🔸 Taken briefs (with a few treats on the side)
🔸 Reviewed CVs (some with a chew mark or two)
🔸 Stayed on top of admin (aka napped next to the laptop)
It’s business as (almost) usual while Lucy’s away – we’re still taking applications, chatting to marketers, and lining up brilliant roles with brilliant brands.
So if you’re ready for your next career move – or just want to see if Darcy approves your CV – drop us a message! 🐾
Equally, if you're looking for your next hire and want to get those wheels in motion, drop Luce a note (she is still contactable while away, her desk just looks like a banana lounge!).

💡 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?

💬 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'.
From embracing AI to building your personal brand, it was all about giving marketers the tools (and confidence) to take charge of their careers in an ever-evolving industry.
A few key takeaways:
🔸 Be active, not passive, in your career
🔸 Learn to work with AI, not against it
🔸 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.
It was also brilliant to hear from so many other amazing speakers throughout the day – shout out to:
🔹 Michael Appleford (Tag WW)
🔹 Justine Salazar & Ryan Gill (Brandwatch)

📢 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.
Read the full blog by Bronwyn on the @ami_marketingvoice site to explore what marketers need to do next ~ https://ami.org.au/knowledge-hub/ai-for-marketers-chatgpt-enters-ecommerce-and-resets-the-funnel-2/

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.

Make sure you take the chance this extended break to breathe, relax, and recharge. We will be. 🥰

💬 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.
