IAB Australia CEO Paul Fisher welcomed Caroline to the new role where she will be central in distributing aggregated and IAB-commissioned tangible marketing information, services and tools to advertisers, agencies, business media and members.
“Caroline joins the IAB at an exciting time, as the industry continues to grow despite the recent GFC. More and more advertisers are seeking information to support their growing investment in online advertising as it rapidly becomes the medium of choice for them to reach, engage and influence consumers.
“As we embark on an aggressive programme of industry research, standards, guidelines, best practice and world leading online audience measurement methodology in 2010 and beyond, the IAB and the whole industry will benefit from Caroline’s marketing skills and industry experience,” said Mr Fisher.
Previously, Caroline was employed with Q Ltd Group where she worked most recently as Business Development Manager and in Account Management with The Great Australian Survey. She has a solid working knowledge and experience of the digital media industry, in addition to impressive marketing and academic credentials with masters in management and international business.
