Facebook Australia is set to announce the launch of face-2-face, a new advertising campaign.

For this campaign, Facebook has interviewed nine marketing industry leaders, who shared their opinion on a number of issues, including the shifting nature of creative, to the skills required of marketers today.

In creating face-2-face, Facebook Australia worked with creative agency WiTH Collective and media agency Gyro to deliver the campaign. Here, nine leading marketers from a number of iconic Australian businesses were interviewed by Aussie media personality, Jules Lund, to reflect on the year that was, as well as provide a critical look forward at 2018.

The marketers interviewed for the face-2-face were as follows:

  • Jo Boundy, CMO of Qantas Loyalty
  • Brent Smart, CMO of IAG

  • Phil O’Connor, Head of Performance Media at Koala
  • Lisa Messenger, Founder & Editor in Chief of the Collective Hub
  • Alex Tomic, Co-Founder and Director of HiSmile
  • Simon Cahill, Head of Digital and Business Development of Warner Music Australia

Three overarching topics emerged from the discussion:

  1. A focus on the necessary skills required to be a modern-day marketer;

  2. The importance of the customer being the centre of all business decisions;

  3. The rise of video and how it is impacting creative –  in particular discussions around short form / long form
