Additionally, Commonwealth Bank Australia’s Chief Marketing OfficerJo Boundy loves marketing’s need for us to combine the creativity with data-led insights and rigorous logic. She describes her work as “the balance of the left and right brain” and “art vs science” which come together to form “the perfect relationship.”

Trisca Scott-Branagan - Chief Marketing Officer, Australian Business Growth Fund - is similarly passionate about this balance. “The variety” that comes with marketing, she says, provides “the opportunity to be creative one moment, and deeply analytical the next.”
ADMA’s CEO Andrea Martens touched on the variety that not only comes with the craft, but the plethora of interests and businesses marketers can work with. She believes that marketing is “a career where you work in any industry - be it fashion, cars, finance etc. You can follow your passion whatever that may be, as every industry relies on marketing.

To help marketers prepare for the impact that the privacy reforms will have on the industry and our practices, we have created The Privacy Series. Each month we will deep dive into one of the key components set to reshape the Privacy Act to understand what they mean for marketers and their businesses. This month we look at data breach response plans.
ADMA’s “Am I the weakest link: Privacy edition” explores the idea that the privacy data chain is made up of six main parties – the marketer, the consumer, the platform, the agency, the government, and the board – all with the potential to be ‘the weakest link’. However, each of these parties contribute in different ways to the standard of data practices in Australia’s economy. Can we really point the finger at any one party?
In this article series, we will deep dive into each of the links in the chain, assess the areas for improvement and how marketers can help strengthen the chain overall through their own roles.
This year’s Privacy Awareness Week (PAW) continued to fuel the national privacy conversation, driving it from surface-level awareness to deeper, systemic action. The week was a flurry of activity by all supporters. Read all about it in this article.
Join us at ADMA Global Forum 2025, where the industry’s powerhouse thought leaders come together to tackle the biggest challenges shaping the future of marketing.

As the industry braces for Privacy Act reform and rapid AI adoption, Daniel Eadon, Associate Director of Marketing Performance at Optus, believes the future of marketing depends on a single principle: trust. Here, he explains how privacy impact assessments, collaboration and common sense will define tomorrow’s best marketers.
