Mark Buckman takes control of all Telstra’s marketing

Telstra has centralised all of its marketing functions in a restructure which gives even greater influence to new chief marketing officer Mark Buckman.

The announcement came as part of a wider move by Telstra aimed at sharpening the company’s customer focus.

The moves means that marketing staff in the Telstra Enterprise & Government, Telstra Business, Telstra Consumer & Country Wide units will now report in to Buckman.

In a briefing to staff, Buckman said: “I’m excited as we transition from being the largest marketer in Australia to become the best marketer in Australia. In marketing terms, the opportunity doesn’t get much better than this.”

Buckman, previously chief marketing officer at Commonwealth Bank, took on the Telstra role just over three months ago.
