Marketing veteran John Casey, ex-TPG Telecom CMO, dies
"A good operator and an even better human": Tributes paid to marketer John Casey
Tributes have flowed for former TPG Telecom chief marketing officer John Casey, led by the telco’s CEO Iñaki Berroeta and Supercars Australia leader and former Seven boss James Warburton.
Casey became chief marketing officer of Vodafone Australia in 2005, a role he held for seven years.
He returned to the company, by then merged with TPG Telecom, in 2021, serving as CMO until early 2025. He also held senior marketing roles at Supercars Australia, including as marketing director and director of the Bathurst 12 Hour, and briefly at Foxtel in 2019.
What a shock. I worked with John at NBN Co and he was one of the nicest, most effortlessly charismatic marketing leaders I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Such a warm person with a great sense of humour. I hope wherever he is he’s kicking back and enjoying a special screening of one of his favourite movies, Tropic Thunder and making new friends.
Jc… you never failed to add life and sparkle. If we spent 100hrs together 99 were laughing.
Very sad mate. Thinking of you.
