Geez, we love a good catch-up!
The New Chapter Talent team caught up with the wonderful Jo Rao and Laura D'Augello yesterday to chat all things marketing — from industry insights to what’s next for our community.
Jo has been instrumental in helping Lucy bring the New Chapter Talent Marketing Leader Awards to life (can you believe that was just a couple of months ago?!).
We also talked all about the next New Chapter: Marketing Collective Club networking event happening on 13 November at The Duke here in Melbs… and let’s just say there might be a surprise or two in store. Stay tuned!

🎧 PODCAST ~ Season Finale Alert! We’re closing out Series 2 of CMO Chapters Podcast with a powerhouse guest — Ryan Gracie, Chief Customer & Revenue Officer at BIG W.
In this episode, Lucy chats with Ryan about bold moves, retail reinvention, and the power of resilience — and how an uncomfortable upbringing taught him to lean into challenges rather than fear them.
In this snippet, Ryan shares:
💬 “My drive isn’t to make money — money is a consequence. My drive is to see how far I can take things from a very low base.”
It’s a candid reflection on what really fuels success — curiosity, challenge, and the desire to grow, no matter where you start from.
This episode is the perfect wrap to an incredible season filled with wisdom, laughs, and career-defining insights.

🗞️ 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? 😅

A huge thank you to everyone who joined and helped make the launch so special.
The Marketing Collective Club is designed for CMOs and Heads of Marketing — whether employed or fractional — who want to build community, inspire each other, and focus on learning.
The group plans to meet once a month, every 2nd Thursday, and each event will bring something a little different to the table.
The next meet-up is locked in for Thursday, 13th November 2025 at The Duke of Wellington – Russell Room, 146 Flinders Street, Melbourne.
💰 Tickets: $69 PP (+ booking fees)

“Are you OK?” isn’t always an easy one to ask, but it could be the start of a life-changing conversation.
At New Chapter Talent, we know careers, workplaces, and job searches can come with plenty of ups and downs. Today’s a reminder to check in with your colleagues, friends, and loved ones – not just today, but every day.
👉 Take the time. Ask the question. Listen with care.

💡 BLOG ~ Senior marketers: when was the last time you had to do a formal interview?
For many, the answer is years ago. Instead, opportunities have arrived via that flattering “tap on the shoulder.”

We’ve just published a new blog on why interview readiness still matters in today’s marketing recruitment market — even at the senior level.
✅ Why interviews protect both candidate and employer
✅ What can go wrong if you skip them
✅ How senior marketers can prepare (even if it’s been years!)

💡 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.

💡 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...

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!).

Happy Birthday to our leading lady, Lucy Bolan! 🎂🍾🌞
Once again, she's cleverly timed her birthday with a little OOO action – currently off living her best life, sipping something fancy, and ignoring her inbox (as she should!).
While Lucy’s soaking up the sun, Darcy - the British Bulldog and the team are sending big birthday love and holding down the fort.
Here’s to another year of making bold moves, building brilliant connections, and being the heart of New Chapter Talent. 💛
We’ll cheers you properly when you're back! 🥂🎈

💡 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?

🎧 PODCAST ~ New on CMO Chapters – Series 2, Episode 7!
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'.
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)
🔹 Olivia Gumienny, Jess O. & Monica Marchesani (Not-for-profit social media panel)
🔹 Hayden Dib (Cheque Please!)
🔹 Paul Murphy (Monash University)
🔹 Harrison Orchard (Cricket Australia)
🔹 Beatrix Fisher (Havas)
🔹 Julia McDonald (7-Eleven)
🔹 Paige Adgemis (Bakers Delight)
Huge thanks to Martin Kelly, Benjamin McGinn and the entire team at Brandwatch for putting together such a seamless and inspiring event.
