Spaceship reaches into retail for marketing chief

Spaceship has hired The Iconic Australia head of brand experience Olly Emery as their chief marketing officer.

Emery comes from a mixed global marketing background, including brand experiences with Red Bull domestically and internationally, moving to Austria for the energy drink maker. He was also the chief marketing officer and president for Hubrick, a social content aggregation platform.

He joins several other key c-suite roles announced today, including chief operating officer Peter McHale and chief product officer Andrew Malak.

In comments to Financial Standard, CEO Andrew Moore said the leadership team's diverse experience would provide "strong lift" to Spaceship's capability.

"Demand for an easy, affordable and educational way to invest remains unmet in Australia and Spaceship is making significant strides to fill this gap.

"As we grow, it is imperative we invest in our people and our structures to strengthen our business foundation, so we can deliver the best possible products to our customers."
