Craig Thomler
Digital Marketing Senior Manager at Accenture Interactive
About me
As a 20-year digital veteran I am passionate about boosting organisational performance through the use of digital strategies and tools.
I've previously led and managed start-up companies and served in a variety of senior roles in government agencies and public and private companies.
In these roles I've led national digital projects, designed innovative digital and physical products, led stakeholder engagement initiatives, managed the creation and management of hundreds of websites and trained thousands globally on social media engagement.
I'm now using my skills and experience to help organisations adapt to the rapidly changing digital environment, helping them manage and respond to digital disruption while realizing massive value and performance benefits.
I'm also active as a mentor in the CSIRO ON Prime and InnovationACT programs, and through the ACT Institute of Marketing.
