For 6 months from October 2012 until March 2013 I was seconded from my Sensis Development Manager position to act as a Senior Digital Marketing Manager in the Telstra Chief Marketing Office. I briefly returned to Sensis but rejoined the Telstra CMO officially in July 2013 and worked through to March 2014 to complete my work there.My time in Telstra was spent developing the strategic capability to identify, target, track and report on marketing activity to known customers in digital channels on a one to one basis.This brought digital channels in line with other marketing channels such as outbound calls, direct mail, electronic direct mail, door to door and SMS. It allowed customers to be allocated the optimal and least intrusive channel to achieve the most cost effective purchase outcome.
