Chief creative of News Lab Joe Talcott departs News Limited – steps down as chairman of AANA
News Limited chief creative of News Lab, Joe Talcott is set to depart tomorrow after seven years with the company – at the same time stepping down as chairman of the AANA.
Says AANA CEO Scott McClellan: “Joe has served more than three years as chairman. During this time, AANA membership has grown by over 15% and the Association has tackled several challenging industry and regulatory issues. Under his chairmanship, AANA has forged healthy working relationships throughout the Advertising, Marketing and Media Industry.”
Other highlights of Talcott’s chairmanship include establishment of AANA’s Congress, an annual gathering of the country’s most influential marketing leaders. The February 16 event has become a key forum for debating industry and regulatory issues and future challenges.
Member networking and professional development events also expanded, including the much heralded “Table of 10” format. The Warner Award for achievement and outstanding service to the industry and the Young Marketer of the Year Award are also important milestones.
Deputy Chair Inese Kingsmill, corporate marketing director, Telstra, will assume the chair of the Association in an acting capacity from 1 February 2012.
