Ex Publicis Mojo CEO Joe Pollard named as Telstra marketing chief
Former Publicis Mojo chief executive Joe Pollard has been named Telstra’s head of media and marketing.
The appointment, made internally this morning, will see Pollard step down from the board of Nine Entertainment Co.
She will join the telco on November 25 as group managing director media and marketing and will report to group executive Gordon Ballantyne.
Congratulations Joe! Great choice for that role.
Congratulations Joe. That’s great news.
Great hire Telstra!
Congrats – Well Done
Fantastic appointment!
Having worked directly for Joe I can say that she is one of the best managers I have worked for in my long career. Congratulations Telstra on a great hire!
Obviously a good marketing hire and great experience generally. But telstra has a string of big decisions ahead on the business side if they are really planning to be in media. Joe has taken on two big jobs. I hope for my money’s sake that she does one really well. Marketing with Telstras budget is a nil brainer.
Top hire! Well done Telstra.
Congratulations Joe.
Congratulations Joe! Great hire Telstra. She’s a rare marketer who “gets it”.
Congratulations to Joe. I had the pleasure of working for her for a brief period of time – a lovely lady and top notch at what she does.
Sounds like a good appointment however Telstra keeps saying it wants to be customer centric, yet the head of marketing will not report to the CEO. Who is responsible for the customer at the ELT level? Same old same old.
