Myer boss Bernie Brookes to be involved in creative pitch as retailer begins hunt for new marketing boss

Myer’s Megan Foster

Myer says CEO Bernie Brookes will be taking a “keen interest” in the retail chain’s current creative agency pitch, following the move of marketing boss Megan Foster to the role of managing director of the company’s fashion label Sass & Bide.

The changes are part of a wider restructure of the marketing division which will eventually see a new Myer marketing boss take responsibility for the company’s marketing, digital services, online, loyalty program, events and commercial services.

“The pitch is still being run through our procurement team but it is a very important contract,” said a Myer spokesman, who emphasised the pitch would continue despite a new marketing boss not yet being appointed.
