🎉 EVENT RECAP ~ What a night, Melbourne! Lucy and Annie had a brilliant time at Above It All, celebrating pre-loved fashion, great company and the work of Ready Set. From the rooftop views and welcome cocktails to the Ready Set pop-up boutique, it was a lovely reminder that fashion can have a second life and make a real difference along the way. @readysetau is a not-for-profit that empowers people through clothing, helping people access the clothes they need to feel confident and ready for work and life. An awesome cause we’re proud to support. And speaking of Ready Set… they’re also the charity partner for the New Chapter Talent Christmas party! 🎄 Have you got your ticket yet? We’re looking forward to wrapping up the year with our community, raising funds for a great cause and having a well-earned drink or two along the way. 📍 Wednesday 9 December | Good Nature Hotel, Fed Square 🎟️ Tickets are $40 + booking fees, with proceeds supporting Ready Set.

A big thank you to Luca for these lovely words about Lucy and the recruitment process. “Couldn’t recommend Lucy more highly! She was fantastic throughout the recruitment process, always keeping me updated. Her communication made the whole experience seamless. An absolute pleasure to deal with!” Recruitment is about more than matching a CV to a job description. It’s about communication, trust and making sure people feel supported along the way.

💬 MARKETING COLLECTIVE CLUB ~ So, We Implemented AI… Now What? What a lunch! 🙌 45 marketers in a room, a sold-out event and our biggest Marketing Collective Club lunch to date. And there was certainly plenty to talk about. A few key themes stood out: ✔️ Strategy still leads. AI tools are only as good as the thinking behind them. The bigger picture still matters. ✔️ Marketing teams are evolving. As AI takes on more tasks, cross-skilling, curiosity and adaptability are becoming essential. ✔️ Governance is non-negotiable. Wider adoption brings greater responsibility to get the guardrails right. ✔️ Value goes beyond cost savings. The real opportunity is building capability, creating capacity and improving what marketing teams deliver. A huge thank you to our panellists, Caroline Ruddick, Kira Bomberg and Catherine Toms, for sharing their experience and insights, and to everyone who joined us and contributed to such a great discussion. Clearly, we've only scratched the surface. AI is a conversation marketing leaders need to keep having, and we'll be bringing more of it to the Marketing Collective Club in 2027. Want to be part of the conversation? Keep an eye out for our upcoming events and join us for the next chapter. 💜 And that's a wrap on our final Marketing Collective Club lunch for 2026. What a way to finish the year!

💬 MARKETING INSIGHT ~ Relevance is becoming more valuable than reach. With more content competing for our attention, producing more isn’t necessarily the answer. The real challenge is giving people a reason to stop, take notice and engage. That starts with understanding your audience, knowing what matters to them and creating content that genuinely earns their attention. But there’s a talent question here, too. Strong customer insight, strategic thinking, creativity and commercial understanding all play a part in making marketing more relevant and effective. As we look towards 2027, it’s worth asking whether your marketing team has the right mix of skills and experience to meet changing audience expectations. Are there capabilities you’re looking to build or strengthen in your team?

💡 INSIGHTS ~ The Melbourne marketing recruitment market has been a little fickle this year. We’ve seen some fantastic opportunities come to market, plenty of movement, and more recently, a number of roles being put on hold as businesses reassess priorities and budgets. It’s a reminder that hiring plans can change quickly. But putting a role on hold doesn’t necessarily mean the need has gone away. For businesses, it’s about working out what’s essential, what can wait and how to make sure the right people are in place when the time is right. If you’re reviewing your marketing or sales team, or starting to think about your hiring plans for 2027, it’s worth having the conversation early. Lucy is always happy to have a chat about what you’re seeing, what you might need and how to approach the market. 📩 Get in touch with Luce for a confidential chat. 📧 lucy@newchaptertalent.com.au 📞 +61 416 153 144 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝑵𝒆𝒘 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒕 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 #SalesJobs #MarketingJobs #MarketingRecruitment #NewChapterTalent #SalesRecruitment #MarketingCareers

📢 PSA ~ Have you started thinking about your marketing and sales headcount for 2027? If you know you’ll need to grow your team, now is a good time to start the conversation. Getting your recruitment plans locked in before the end of the year means you can hit the ground running in January, rather than spending the first few weeks of the new year working out what you need. The best people won’t always be available when you need them, so a little forward planning can make a big difference. Add it to the 2026 to-do list. 😉 Need a sounding board on your hiring plans?

💬 BLOG ~ A little reminder for leaders this week: check in with your marketing team. Luce recently spoke with a Marketing Manager who joined a brand they genuinely believed in. Eighteen months later, they’re still invested in the business and what it could become, but they’re starting to burn out. For the past eight months, they’ve been told more resources are coming. Those additional team members and direct reports still haven’t arrived. In the meantime, they’re managing paid media, community engagement, email marketing and strategy – all in a highly reactive environment. They’re more than happy to roll up their sleeves. But there’s only so much one person can carry. The bigger issue? It’s not always the workload itself. It’s the uncertainty around how long it will last. If a hire has been delayed, say so. If the plan has changed, explain what that means for the team. And if someone is carrying a lot, make sure they know their contribution is appreciated. It sounds simple, but good people can reach their limit when the goalposts keep moving, and the communication stops. Lucy has shared the full story, along with a few things leaders can do to make sure their best people aren’t quietly reaching breaking point.

🎧 PODCAST ~ And that's a wrap on Season 3! And what a way to finish. This one is a gem. For the final episode of the season, Lucy chats with Jo Rao, newly appointed CMO at @teamthinkwink about a career that started at 18 as a receptionist at the @westcoasteagles and somehow led to the CMO seat. There was no 10-year plan. No carefully mapped-out career path. Just saying yes, taking opportunities, backing herself and figuring things out along the way. And then, of course, learning when to say no. Jo talks career resilience, building a genuine network, why younger marketers have plenty to teach the old hands, what it really means to have a seat at the executive table, and why understanding the customer and the wider business matters. And as AI continues to change marketing, Jo's view is pretty simple... don't forget how to be human. A ripper conversation to finish the season. 🎧 Listen to CMO Chapters Podcast with Jo Rao now via the link ~ https://www.newchaptertalent.com.au/series-3#Ep10JoRao 🔗 in bio.

💡 MARKETING ~ There’s been some seriously good marketing happening in Australia this week. First, @kylieminogue at the @afl Grand Final. At some point, it stopped feeling like the pre-game entertainment and started feeling like we’d accidentally bought tickets to a Kylie concert. And honestly? Brilliant. The nostalgia. The costume changes. The nods to her past. @gflip . William Barton. @domdolla . The giant Kylie footy. The flying Kylie. The custom-made @baredfootwear boots! The little details for the people paying attention. It was entertainment, but there was a lot of smart marketing thinking behind it too. Then today, @brisbane2032 kicks off a six-day reveal of its Olympic and Paralympic emblems. Not just “here’s the new logo”. A reveal stretched out over days, across Queensland, giving people a reason to keep watching and talking. "Like a treasure hunt!" with the final reveal on 5 October. Two very different campaigns. But plenty for marketers to take from both. Make people feel something. Know your audience. Give them something worth talking about. And maybe most importantly, make the marketing itself part of the experience. There’s a lot to love about being a marketer when weeks like this come along. 👏👏👏 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝑵𝒆𝒘 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒕 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 #NewChapterTalent #MarketingRecruitment #MarketingCareers #MarketingLeadership #MarketingJobs Kylie 📸 ~ Mark Stewart | Michael Klein

💬 BLOG ~ Thinking about going fractional? If Lucy were a fractional CMO looking to build a pipeline of clients, she wouldn’t start by trying to be everything to everyone. She’d get very clear on: ✔️ The industries and businesses where she can genuinely add value ✔️ What her capability statement says beyond her CV ✔️ The specific problems she can help solve ✔️ Who she wants to build relationships with ✔️ How she can stay visible and useful without constantly selling The biggest mistake? Positioning yourself as a CMO who can help anyone with anything. Specialisation makes it much easier for the right businesses to understand why they should talk to you. Lucy has shared her thoughts on building a fractional CMO pipeline, what businesses are actually looking for and why relationships matter. 👉 Read the full blog on the New Chapter Talent website ~ newchaptertalent.com.au/how-to-build-a-pipeline-of-clients-as-a-fractional-cmo 🔗 in bio. #FractionalCMO #MarketingLeadership #MarketingRecruitment #MarketingCareers #NewChapterTalent

🏆 AFL Grand Final Long Weekend is nearly here for Victorians! And this year, it’s a little different. No Victorian team in sight – it’s Brisbane v Fremantle, with the Lions and Dockers heading to the ‘G for the big one. But really, who needs an excuse for a long weekend in Melbourne when the weather is looking this good? ☀️ There’s footy, a few cold ones, plenty happening around town and Kylie Minogue taking to the MCG for the pre-game entertainment. Not a bad way to spend a Saturday! We’re switching the out-of-office on and taking a little break until Monday. Whatever you’re up to, have a cracker of a long weekend!

🐔 THE HEN HOUSE REPORT ~ We've caught Sharon and Tracy having what appears to be a very serious discussion. Naturally, we assumed it was about recruitment. Apparently not. They're actually debating whether Tracy should accept a counteroffer. SO... if you're considering a counteroffer, ask yourself why you wanted to leave in the first place. More money might solve one problem, but it doesn't necessarily fix the reason you started looking. Before accepting, think about the bigger picture: ✔️ Has anything actually changed? ✔️ Are the reasons you wanted to leave being addressed? ✔️ Will the opportunity still give you what you're looking for? A pay rise is nice. But sometimes the problem isn't the pay cheque. Sharon has decided to stay. Tracy has advised her to ask for more corn. Negotiations continue. Happy Friday from the hen house. 🐔🐔 #NewChapterTalent #TheHenHouseReport #SharonAndTracy #Marketing

💬 BLOG ~ CMO or Head of Marketing? The most senior person you can afford isn’t always the person your business needs. Over the past couple of weeks, Lucy has spoken with two CMOs who had both stepped into new roles on $350K+ base salaries, with ambitious growth plans attached. Six months in, both had discovered that the businesses simply weren’t ready for a CMO at that level. The investment hadn’t materialised. Growth was slower than expected. And the big plans to scale were still some way from reality. So, what did the businesses actually need? Possibly a brilliant, hands-on Head of Marketing who could build the foundations and help get the business ready for the next stage. It raises a bigger question for anyone hiring senior marketing talent: are you hiring for where the business actually is, or where you hope it will be? In the latest blog, Lucy looks at the questions businesses should be asking before hiring a CMO, why organisational readiness matters, and why sometimes the smartest senior marketing hire isn’t the most senior one. 👉 Read the full blog ~ https://www.newchaptertalent.com.au/cmo-or-head-of-marketing-getting-the-level-of-marketing-leadership-right 🔗 in bio. #MarketingLeadership #MarketingRecruitment #CMO #HeadOfMarketing #MarketingCareers #NewChapterTalent

🎧 PODCAST ~ Season 3, Episode 9 of CMO Chapters Podcast is here! We’re into the final stretch of Season 3, with just two episodes to go. In this week’s episode, Lucy chats with Michael McConville, Founder of @free.creative.studio about something that sounds simple but can be surprisingly difficult: being yourself. Especially when you’re a leader. Michael talks about finding confidence in who you are, why authenticity builds trust, and how he eventually stopped trying to be an “impersonation of a professional person”. There’s plenty more in the full conversation too. From Michael’s rather unconventional career path and the role of luck in getting where you want to go, to the changing agency landscape, why great client relationships come down to trust, and his advice for the next generation of marketers. And, of course, why you should just be a good egg. 🥚 🎧 Season 3, Episode 9 is out now.

💬 BLOG ~ If you’re updating your CV at the moment, stop for a minute and check the small stuff. 👇 After reviewing thousands of marketing CVs over the years, there are a few things people miss. Things like: → Including the month AND year for every role → Adding your mobile number (yes, really!) → Giving some context about lesser-known businesses you’ve worked for → Showing the commercial impact of your work... not just your responsibilities → Treating a Teams meeting with a recruiter or hiring manager like an interview None of these things are complicated. But they can make a big difference to how quickly someone understands your experience, your career progression and the value you could bring to a business.

🐶 A belated Happy International Dog Day to Darcy - the British Bulldog. We nearly forgot. Which, as you can imagine, has not gone down particularly well. Darcy is the OG around here. The original New Chapter four-legged staff member. Long before Sharon and Tracy arrived with their feathers, opinions and frankly unreasonable demands on our time. She even has her own LinkedIn Showcase Page. Not that there’s a huge amount on it. Again, we suspect Sharon and Tracy may have something to do with that. Since the hens came on the scene, Darcy’s nose has been a little more out of joint than usual. We wouldn't say there’s a heated rivalry going on, but let’s say it’s probably for the better that everyone maintains a respectful distance. So today, we’re putting the chickens aside for a moment. Happy International Dog Day (for yesterday), Darce. 🐾 You were here first. And we haven’t forgotten that. #InternationalDogDay #Darcy #NewChapterTalent

🎧 PODCAST ~ Episode 8 is here, and this week Lucy chats with Amy Maiden, Executive Manager – Visitor Economy at the City of Ballarat and Tourism Midwest Victoria. And this conversation got us thinking about something we’re talking about a LOT at the moment: AI. There’s no doubt technology is changing how we work, market and connect with audiences. But when Lucy asks Amy about the future of live events, her answer comes back to something much more basic. 💬 “People will always want to gather together and connect together as humans.” Because technology might change how we experience things. But the need to connect? That’s human. And as marketers, perhaps that’s something worth remembering when we’re all getting very excited about what AI can do. 🎧 Catch the full episode NOW on the New Chapter Talent website ~ 🔗 in bio.

💬 MARKETING COLLECTIVE CLUB ~ What a lunch. Thank you, thank you, thank you! 🤩 Our latest Q&A with Amanda Connors MBA and Lucy was everything we'd hoped for. A genuinely open and interactive conversation about making the leap from CMO to CEO, with plenty of questions, opinions, stories and a few moments that had everyone thinking. A huge thank you to Amanda for being so generous with her time, sharing her experience so openly and giving us such an honest insight into her own journey from marketing leader to CEO. And, of course, thank you to everyone who joined us. Those who have been before and those who were new to attending. It's the people around the table who make these lunches what they are. We'll be taking a little break before the next one, but Marketing Collective Club will be back in October. And we're going to change things up a little... so watch this space. More to come, but for now, here's a little look at last Thursday's lunch. 💜 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘊𝘭𝘶𝘣 𝘪𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘊𝘔𝘖 | 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘭𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴 - 𝘦𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘰𝘺𝘦𝘥, 𝘧𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘰𝘳 𝘪𝘯-𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬. #NewChapterTalent #Networking #MarketingCollectiveClub #MarketingCareers

🐔 THE HEN HOUSE REPORT ~ It's been a busy couple of weeks for Sharon and Tracy since Lucy got back... They have reviewed 47 CVs, rejected 46 and eaten one. Their advice? Don't make your CV sound like everyone else's. "Results-driven team player with excellent communication skills" doesn't tell us much. ✔️ What did you actually achieve? ✔️ What changed because you were there? ✔️ What problem did you solve? Be specific. Give us something we can remember. Sharon has suggested adding "exceptional worm detection skills" to her CV. We're not sure that's quite the transferable skill she thinks it is. Happy Friday. 🐔 #NewChapterTalent #TheHenHouseReport #SharonAndTracy #Marketing

💬 BLOG ~ Your Career Is Not A Race... It’s very easy to open LinkedIn on a Monday morning (well, any morning really!) and feel like everyone else is somehow ahead. Someone has landed a new role. Someone has been promoted. Someone is celebrating a big career milestone. Meanwhile, you might still be looking for your next opportunity, waiting for that promotion or wondering what comes after your current contract. But LinkedIn only shows a very small part of the story. You don’t see the unanswered applications, the interviews that didn’t work out, the knockbacks or the months of uncertainty that may have come before that shiny new job announcement. Lucy has seen plenty of careers take unexpected turns. Sometimes they accelerate. Sometimes they stall. Sometimes a sideways step ends up being the best move someone could have made. There is no single career timeline. So, if you’re starting the week feeling like you’re falling behind, try not to measure your progress against somebody else’s. Focus on what you can move forward this week. Your next chapter doesn’t have to happen at the same pace as everyone else’s. And you never know where one conversation might lead.

💡 INSIGHTS ~ There’s an interview question you probably aren’t preparing for. ❌ It’s not “tell me about yourself”. ❌ It’s not “what are your strengths?” ❌ And it’s not even really about your experience. It’s about what you think comes next. ✔️ Where is the industry heading? ✔️ What opportunities do you see? ✔️ What could the business be doing differently? Because when you’re interviewing for a senior marketing role, being able to talk about what you’ve done is only part of the conversation. Hiring managers also want to understand how you think. We’ve unpacked the question, why it matters and how to prepare for it in our latest blog. 👉 The Interview Question You Probably Aren’t Preparing For ~ 🔗 in bio. #NewChapterTalent #InterviewTip #InterviewQuestions #Blog #Insights #MarketingCareers

🎧 PODCAST ~ We are BACK!! And we have a ripper. Episode 7 has just dropped, and this week Lucy chats with Swati Jain, International Commercial Leader, about taking risks, moving countries, building a career beyond titles and why AI should be helping marketers do more, not simply replacing the grunt work. “I’m an accidental marketeer.” And what a career that accident has created. There’s plenty of career wisdom in this one, including a piece of advice we really loved: “Put your hand up for work that comes in the business.” 🎧 Catch the full episode NOW on the New Chapter Talent website ~ 🔗 in bio.

💬 LUNCH EVENT ~ JUST OVER ONE WEEK TO GO! It's one week until our next Marketing Collective Club lunch, and we'd love to fill the room. On Thursday 20 August, Lucy will be joined by Amanda Connors MBA, CEO of Ready Set, for a Q&A on making the leap from CMO to CEO. This is going to be a really good conversation. We'll be talking about what changes when you move from leading marketing to leading the whole business, the mindset shift, the challenges, the opportunities and what Amanda has learned along the way. And, as always, it's not just about the conversation on stage. It's about the people around the table too. Great food, good conversations and a room full of smart, interesting marketers who are generous with their ideas and experience. We've got some seats left, but there's still plenty of room for more. So, if you've been thinking "I really should get along to one of these", this is your nudge. 📅 Thursday 20 August 📍 The Cellar, The George on Collins 🎟️ Come join us ~ https://www.trybooking.com/DHZAB 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘊𝘭𝘶𝘣 𝘪𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘊𝘔𝘖 | 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘭𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴 - 𝘦𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘰𝘺𝘦𝘥, 𝘧𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘰𝘳 𝘪𝘯-𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬. #NewChapterTalent #Networking #MarketingCollectiveClub #MarketingCareers

📢 LUCY IS BACK ~ Well... that week flew by. Lucy is officially back after a well-earned week on the beach, feeling refreshed and (mostly) ready to go. We'll give her a day to swap beach mode for work mode, work through the inbox and remember what day it is. 😂 If you've been waiting to: ✔️ Chat about a new role ✔️ Fill a position on your team ✔️ Get some advice on the market ✔️ Or simply have a catch-up ...now's the time to get in touch. Responses might be a little slower than usual while she works through the holiday email mountain, but normal service will be back in full swing before you know it.

🔸 UPDATE ~ As many of you know, Lucy's been on the lookout for a Recruitment Resourcer to join New Chapter Talent. While she's been away, Sharon and Tracy kindly stepped in to keep the search moving. Early feedback? 🐔 Sharon has a habit of pecking at CVs she doesn't like. 🐔 Tracy thinks every candidate deserves a second chance. 🐔 Neither has quite mastered LinkedIn Recruiter. Darcy - the British Bulldog was invited to help too... ...but after being left in charge during Lucy's UK trip, she politely declined. She's apparently still recovering. So, despite their best efforts, the role is still very much open. Lucy will be back on Monday, coffee in hand, ready to resume the search for an actual human to join the team. Until then, Sharon and Tracy remain on probation. #NewChapterTalent #RecruitmentResourcer #OpenToApplications

👩🏼‍💼 EXEC TALENT ~ The best marketing leaders aren't usually scrolling job boards... They're busy leading teams, growing brands, fixing problems and delivering results. But that doesn't mean they're not open to the right opportunity. At New Chapter Talent, we're connected with senior marketing leaders who are ready for their next chapter. CMOs, Heads of Marketing, Marketing Directors and senior specialists who bring commercial thinking, strong leadership and plenty of experience to the table. If you're planning your next hire, there's a good chance we've already had the conversation.

⭐️ GOOGLE REVIEWS ~ There are plenty of recruiters who can send a CV. The difference is taking the time to understand the role, the team, the culture and asking the questions that help everyone make the right decision. We're incredibly grateful for these recent Google reviews from clients Amy Maiden and Rita Simonetta. 💬 "A brilliant recruitment company. Top notch service and excellent outcomes. I'd work with Lucy again in a heartbeat!" 💬 "Lucy has consistently delivered carefully considered candidate shortlists that were not only well matched to the role requirements but also a genuine fit for our organisational culture." To both Amy and Rita, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. It means a lot to know that the care, honesty and attention we put into every search is making a difference. If you're looking for a recruitment partner who takes the time to get it right, we'd love to have a chat (after 10 August, since Luce is away this week! 😉).

💬 BLOG ~ One of the simplest interview tips we share with candidates is also one of the most overlooked. Bring a notepad. It might seem like a small thing, but arriving with a few thoughtful questions already written down demonstrates that you've taken the time to prepare. It also shows genuine interest in the opportunity and helps you stay focused during the conversation. The strongest candidates don't always stand out because they have the perfect answers. More often than not, it's the small details that leave a lasting impression. We've shared why this simple habit can make such a difference in our latest blog, along with practical interview advice that every marketing and sales professional can put into practice. 📖 Read the full blog here ~ 🔗 in bio. #InterviewTips #MarketingCareers #SalesCareers #CareerAdvice #Recruitment #NewChapterTalent

🚨 PSA ~ Tomorrow, Luce is officially clocking off for a well-earned break. After a wonderfully busy few months, she's swapping recruitment calls for beach walks, cocktails and (hopefully) putting that laptop away for a whole week. From 31 July to 7 August, she'll be embracing a proper digital detox, so she'll only be checking in for anything genuinely urgent. If you've been meaning to chat about hiring, your next career move, or a role you've got in mind, today is the day to get in touch. Otherwise, she'll be back on 10 August, refreshed, recharged and ready to help. Have the best break, Luce! 🌴☀️🍹 #HappyHolidays #NewChapterTalent

💜 HAPPY BIRTHDAY ~ Lucy Bolan! [📣 sound on] 💜 Always smiling. Always laughing. Always working.

The recruiter, the podcast host, the networking queen, the biggest cheerleader for marketers, and the person who somehow still answers emails at ridiculous hours. The good news? Just two more sleeps until she's swapping recruitment for cocktails on the beach. Happy Birthday, Luce. We hope you have the best day.

💬 MCC LUNCH ~ What does it really take to move from CMO to CEO? It's a question many senior marketers have asked at some point in their career, and on Thursday 20 August, Lucy is sitting down with Amanda Connors MBA to find out. Recently appointed CEO of Ready Set, Amanda has built a career leading brands, driving commercial growth and creating meaningful impact. Now she'll share what the transition to CEO has really looked like, the opportunities, the challenges, and the lessons she's learned along the way. This won't be a presentation.

🎙️ Missing CMO Chapters Podcast? While we're getting ready for the second half of Season 3, we thought we'd revisit a snippet from Episode 1 with Gabrielle Dolan. If you've got a job interview coming up, this one's worth remembering. 𝗗𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. 𝗧𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆. Stories help bring your experience to life.

🗞️ INSIGHTS ~ Interesting read from Anthony Lam (Founder & Managing Director of Punchy Studio), writing for Content Marketing Magazine. His argument isn’t that social media has stopped working. It’s that we’ve become too reliant on it to solve communication challenges it was never designed to solve. “Distribution and communication are not the same thing.” It’s a timely reminder that reach, likes and impressions don’t always tell the whole story. Sometimes the right channel isn’t social at all. It depends on what you’re trying to achieve. Well worth a read if you’re reviewing your content strategy or marketing mix. 👉 Full article here ~ marketingmag.com.au/featured/have-content-marketers-reached-peak-social/ Do you agree?

⭐ CLIENT LOVE ~ One of the best parts of what we do is hearing how our clients experience working with us. This recent Google review really made our day. "What really sets Lucy apart is her willingness to ask the tough questions... Lucy never shied away from the conversations that matter most." Recruitment isn't about sending CVs and hoping for the best. It's about taking the time to understand the role, the team, the culture and what success really looks like. Sometimes that means asking the questions others don't. Sometimes it means challenging a brief. And sometimes it means waiting for the right person instead of the quickest placement. When we get that right, everyone wins. A huge thank you to Rita for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback. We genuinely appreciate the trust you've placed in us and loved partnering with you on your recruitment journey.

🎧 PODCAST ~ Reinvention isn't a one-off event. It's a skill. And according to Alicia Rieniets, it's one of the most important skills a marketer can develop. In the latest episode of CMO Chapters Podcast, Lucy sits down with Alicia, one of Australia's most experienced marketing and digital leaders, whose career spans brands including Ford Motor Company, Australia Post, UniSuper and Bupa. Alicia shares why the marketers who thrive aren't necessarily the ones doing more. They're the ones willing to challenge what they've always done, let go of what no longer works, and continuously reinvent themselves. One of the themes we kept coming back to was the idea that change, on its own, isn't enough. 💡 “Reinvention without revenue is just rebranding.” Alicia shares practical examples of how she's helped businesses transform, why commercial thinking matters more than ever, and how marketers can navigate the constant pace of change without losing sight of what matters. The conversation also dives into AI, trust, brand building, leadership, career growth, and why reinvention starts with you before it can happen anywhere else. If you've ever felt like you're navigating a hot bubble bath of change, this episode is well worth a listen. 🎙️ Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

💬 BLOG ~ Over the past few weeks, Lucy has been speaking with candidates who have made it to final-stage interviews but ultimately missed out on the role. One thing keeps coming up. They can talk confidently about their successes. → The revenue growth. → The brand launches. → The team leadership. → The commercial wins. But ask them about a failure, and the answer often becomes much harder. The reality is that most hiring managers aren't expecting a perfect career history. They're trying to understand how someone responds when things don't go to plan. → Did they recognise the issue? → Did they take accountability? → What did they learn? → How did they adapt? Because resilience and self-awareness are often far more telling than a list of achievements. Lucy has unpacked this further in a recent blog, including why this question appears so often in interviews and what hiring managers are actually looking for when they ask it.

🎧 PODCAST ~ CMO Chapters Podcast Season 3 continues, and this snippet with Penny Elmslie is a reminder that the best leaders don't measure success by their own titles. They measure it by the people they've helped along the way. This season, we're unpacking the moments that shape great marketing careers, and this conversation with Penny is full of them. From helping scale Xero from challenger brand to global success, to now leading marketing at one of Australia's fastest-growing AI businesses, she's seen just about every chapter a marketer can experience. But this clip goes somewhere a little different. 💡 "That's probably my biggest, proudest legacy actually... giving people an opportunity to go on and do amazing things." It's easy to think the road to CMO is all about campaigns, growth targets and commercial wins. Penny's perspective is that the real impact often comes from backing people, spotting potential and having those conversations that give someone the confidence to take the next step. A great reminder that the leaders we remember are usually the ones who believed in us before we believed in ourselves. 🎧 Catch the full episode of CMO Chapters with Penny Elmslie on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and of course, our website! 🔗 in bio.

Early in your career, it’s often about execution and delivery. But as you grow, strategic thinking, financial literacy, communication and stakeholder management become just as important.

💬 BLOG ~ One thing we’ve been talking about here at HQ is the importance of honesty during the hiring process. Too often, businesses try to soften the reality of a role because they’re worried about putting candidates off. But experienced marketers usually aren’t scared of challenges. They understand businesses go through change. Teams need rebuilding. Stakeholder alignment can be messy. Pressure exists. What frustrates people is walking into a role and realising the reality is completely different to what was communicated during interviews. → If the role needs transformation work - say it. → If the business is under pressure - say it. → If the team needs rebuilding - say it. Transparency builds trust early, and trust is often what creates long-term hires. Lucy has unpacked this further in a recent blog, particularly why honesty tends to attract better-fit marketing talent, not scare it away. Read more here ~ 🔗 in bio.

💜 WORLD MARKETING DAY 2026 💜 Today we’re celebrating the people behind the brands. The thinkers, creators, problem-solvers, storytellers, analysts, community builders and campaign wranglers keeping marketing moving forward every single day. World Marketing Day is recognised on 27 May in honour of whose work helped shape modern marketing as we know it today. But this day isn’t just about campaigns and clever taglines. It’s about the people behind them. ✔️ The marketers balancing creativity with commercial thinking. ✔️ The teams building brands people genuinely connect with. ✔️ The leaders backing bold ideas. ✔️ And the next generation bringing fresh energy into the industry. Marketing keeps evolving. Faster platforms. Bigger expectations. More noise than ever. Yet the best marketers still come back to the same thing: understanding people. To our clients, candidates, podcast guests, community members and everyone we’ve had the pleasure of working with this year... thank you for making this industry such an exciting one to be part of 💜 From all of us at New Chapter Talent.

✨ REFLECTION ~ This time last week, we were sitting in the Plenary Theatre at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre listening to Michelle Obama in conversation with Annabel Crabb. Now we’ve had a week to unpack it all… what an experience. What a privilege. There were so many moments that stayed with us, but a few words continue to echo: 💬 “When they go low, we go high.” 💬 “Failure is an important part of your growth and developing resilience. Don’t be afraid to fail.” 💬 “Success isn’t about how much money you make, it’s about the difference you can make in people’s lives.” This was the first time the former first lady had spoken at a public event in Australia, and it absolutely didn’t disappoint. We are in awe of her honesty about her journey. It wasn’t linear. It wasn’t perfect. And somehow, that made her even more inspiring. What a remarkable human. And a big thank you to Lucy for organising such a special International Women’s Day competition, and to Michelle Dabraio and Peta Allsopp (MBA) for the wonderful company and conversation. 💜 #InternationalWomensDay #IWD2026 #GiveToGain #WomenInMarketing #NewChapterTalent

💬 MARKETING COLLECTIVE CLUB LUNCH ~ We’re back on Thursday 18 June for our next Marketing Collective Club lunch, and this one’s all about future-proofing your marketing career. Lucy will be joined by Emma Graham for a Q&A focused on what it really takes to stay clear, confident and adaptable in a shifting market. Emma’s career has spanned economics, business ownership, leadership in retail, recruitment across London and Melbourne, and now career coaching. That mix has given her a sharp view on what helps people move forward when things feel uncertain. Today, she works with marketers and creatives to help them: ✔️ Get clear on career direction and goals ✔️ Communicate their value with confidence ✔️ Approach job search with structure, not stress ✔️ Build a personal brand that feels true to them ✔️ Navigate career change or return to work It’s a practical, honest conversation about making better career decisions, not bigger ones. Tickets are now live via the Marketing Collective Club group page. Are you a member of it yet? Sign up ~ 🔗 in bio. MCC is for CMOs or Heads of Marketing, in role, in between, or working fractionally, and is a great space to connect with peers. 💜 #NewChapterTalent #Networking #MarketingCollectiveClub #MarketingCareers @emmagrahamcareercoach

🎧 PODCAST ~ Episode 3 of CMO Chapters Podcast is here, and this episode with Mohit Bhargava is one every marketer should hear. Mo has spent 20+ years across media, entertainment and global marketing leadership roles, and in this conversation with Lucy, he shares a perspective that honestly feels more relevant than ever in today’s market. 💡 In this snippet, Mo shares: “Over time, your whole career becomes an interview.” A simple line… but a powerful one. Because careers aren’t built in one interview, one campaign or one big moment. They’re built through reputation. Through relationships. Through how you show up consistently over time. Mo talks openly about why credibility matters more than networking alone, why curiosity has shaped his entire career journey, and why marketers need to “grow their bubble” if they want to become stronger leaders. 🎧 Watch the snippet below & catch the full conversation now on the New Chapter Talent website ~ 🔗 in bio.

We’ll get back to you tomorrow 😊 #InternationalWomensDay #IWD2026 #GiveToGain #WomenInMarketing #NewChapterTalent

💜 EVENT ~ Last Thursday’s Marketing Collective Club lunch gave us all plenty to think about. A huge thank you to Natalie Moore for such an honest, grounded and genuinely useful conversation around wellbeing, pressure, burnout and learning how to better support ourselves through work and life. One of the simplest, but most powerful, takeaways was Natalie’s “STOP” reset. A quick two-minute meditation designed to bring you back to yourself in the middle of a busy day. → Stop → Take a breath → Observe what you’re feeling → Proceed Simple in theory. Surprisingly hard in practice. Lucy & Nat also discussed how quickly we can slip into autopilot when life and work get busy. We keep going. Keep performing. Keep pushing through. But rarely stop long enough to ask ourselves: How am I actually doing? What do I need today? What can I let go of? If you haven’t connected with Natalie yet, we’d highly recommend doing so. Her insights are genuinely invaluable. And for anyone interested, Natalie is currently taking expressions of interest for her upcoming 3-day wellness retreat ~ https://subscribepage.io/bs1kbt Thank you again to everyone who joined us and contributed to such an open and supportive afternoon. Next up is our June event with Lucy & Emma Graham... keep an eye on our timeline this week for the details! #NewChapterTalent #Networking #MarketingCollectiveClub #MarketingCareers
