Join AMI to hear from female Marketing leaders.

Announcement posted by JC Indahaus Media 15 May 2014

Although women comprise more than half of the marketing roles in Australia, like many industries, we still see too few women in leadership roles.


Join us to hear from female Marketing leaders who have stepped up and leant in. Together they will share their experience and knowledge about gender diversity in the workplace and what we can do to improve the landscape for women to develop careers and achieve leadership positions.

We will underpin these reflections by sharing the results of a recent body of research conducted by the Communications Council on gender diversity. Tara Lordsmith, Founder, Lordsmith & Co and previously General Manager Simplot Australia, Dorothy Hisgrove, General Manager, People, Customer and Community AFL and Founder and Creative Director of Venus, Bec Brideson, will all share their personal experiences and insights into how they have, and how you can, challenge the statistics and become leaders in marketing. Lean in for a great ride.

About the speakers:


Dorothy Hisgrove, General Manager,
Customer, Community & People, AFL

Dorothy has a Bachelor of Business with Distinction from RMIT University and a Post Graduate Diploma in Marketing from RMIT University. From 2010 to 2013 she was General Manager Culture & Communications at Australia Post and from 2004 to 2010 was General Manager People Engagement and Change at the National Australia Bank. From 2003-2204 was Head of Communications and Sustainability AXA Asia Pacific and from 1992-2003 held Senior Marketing and Public Affairs roles at BHP Billiton. In July 2013 Dorothy joined the AFL as General Manager People, Customer and Community with responsibility for Human Resources; Brand and Marketing, Fan Engagement, Community Development and Diversity.


Tara Lordsmith, Founder,
Lordsmith & Co

After 20 years of corporate experience with the big ones, Simplot Australia and Cadbury Schweppes it was time for Tara to make her own mark with Lordsmith & Co, a creative business specifically designed to assist FMCG clients and their suppliers grow and prosper. Contributing her skills and experience as an Australian Marketing Institute Board Member, Tara strongly believes marketing is the corner stone to achieving business success. Tara is a Graduate of AICD, holds a Graduate Diploma in Management and a Bachelor of Business in Marketing.



Bec Brideson, Founder,
Executive Creative Director, Venus

In the late 90’s Bec became one of the worlds youngest Creative Directors to join the 3% of other females in creative leadership positions. In her first 12 months in the role, she launched Virgin Blue, a couple of cars, telcos, pharma products and a train company. Exhausted, she took a few months to think about what her 30’s might look like. Having seen firsthand the need to create greater connections with female audiences, she launched her own communications agency, Venus, in 2004. Today Venus has 25 staff and works in categories such as finance, FMCG, fempro and education. Over the last 10 years Bec has learned a lot about running her own agency, the gender debate, and balancing career, children and family.
