💡BLOG ~ Marketers… you’re not imagining it. → You apply for a role. → You wait. → Then you see the same job re-advertised again… with zero contact. We’re hearing this a lot — even from highly experienced marketers. So what’s actually going on? 🔸 Some roles are “always on” to build pipelines 🔸 Some ads are just formalities 🔸 Hiring freezes pause processes (but the ad stays live) 🔸 And yes… great marketers get overlooked when screening is rushed or automated If you’re stuck in this loop, it’s rarely a reflection of your ability. In our latest blog, we unpack why this keeps happening — and what you can actually do to get in front of the right people. 👉 Read the full blog here ~ 🔗 in bio. #NewChapterTalent #MarketingTalent #Hiring #MelbourneJobs #MarketingJobs #MarketingRecruitment

🔍 As teams look ahead to 2026, one question is front and centre: What kind of marketing talent will help organisations thrive? Lucy is seeing some clear shifts in what sets standout candidates apart: 🔸 Strategic curiosity – Marketers who think commercially, ask the tough questions, and push thinking forward. 🔸 Tech + AI fluency – Talent who feel confident navigating the tools shaping automation, analytics, and smarter decision-making. 🔸 Clear narrative – Candidates who can articulate their strengths, share their learning in a commercially relevant way, and demonstrate the value they can add quickly. 🔸 Adaptability – The ability to move fluidly across channels, teams, and shifting business priorities. 🔸 Cultural alignment – People whose values and working style genuinely match the organisation. Hiring well means finding that sweet spot between creativity and agility — and engaging marketers who can confidently bridge both. If you’re planning upcoming roles, reviewing your team structure, or want to understand the market shifts Lucy is seeing first-hand, she’d love to connect. 📧 lucy@newchaptertalent.com.au 📞 +61 416 153 144 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝑵𝒆𝒘 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒕 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 #MarketingJobs #MarketingRecruitment #Marketing #NewChapterTalent #Hiring #MarketTrends #MarketingCandidates

🗞️ INDUSTRY NEWS ~ Marketers, this one’s worth a look: Google has officially rolled out its AI Mode for Search, calling it its “most powerful AI search experience yet.” So what’s new? 💡 You can now ask longer, more complex queries - think “Create a walkable itinerary for my friends and me in Melbourne this Saturday…” and Google will plan it out for you! 💡 It’s powered by Gemini 2.0, meaning it can handle text, voice, and even images. 💡 Designed for exploratory searches - like planning, comparing, and understanding in-depth topics. 💡 Google promises it’s not taking clicks away from websites - in fact, early tests show users are visiting a wider variety of sites and spending more time on them. For marketers, this signals a shift in SEO strategy and search behaviour - content may need to be even more informative, structured, and conversational to stand out in AI-powered results. You can read the full breakdown from @marketingmagazin What do you think - exciting evolution or another SEO headache? 😅 #MarketingNews #DigitalMarketing #AIinMarketing #SEO #MarketingAustralia #NewChapterTalent #MarketingJobs

💡 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. Get in touch with Lucy Bolan: 📩 lucy@newchaptertalent.com.au 💬 Ever had an interview go completely off-script?

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... ~ marketingweek.com/why-it-works-b2b-marketing/ #B2BMarketing #BehaviouralScience #MarketingInsights #MarketingPsychology #NewChapterTalent #MarketingRecruitment #MarketingJobs

🎙️ 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.

💡 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?
