Officeworks appoints Jess Richmond as marketing general manager
Officeworks has appointed former 7 Eleven head of brand and communications, Jess Richmond, to the role of general manager marketing.
The newly created role oversees Officeworks’ advertising, brand and customer relations after previous national marketing manager Karl Winther left to join Australia Post in October last year.
Richmond joins Officeworks after working with 7 Eleven Australia for just under four years
Congrats Ms Richmond. Here’s a starting tip: provide carry bags to your customers who’ve purchased multiple small items, and bring an end to the management’s narcissistic, phoney virtue-signalling of not providing carry bags. Insulting your customers, patronising your customers, admonishing your customers is bad business. Officeworks is fortunate it has no serious competition – but the moment that arrives, it’s lights out unless its attitudes change.
A) they do provide carry bags. Paper ones. What are you talking about?
B) is this really the place to have your gripe about carry bags?
C) Congrats Jess. Smart operator who can hopefully get some good things done in that place. A lot of old blood and has been flowing through the OW marketing veins for a long time.
