BRX Group announced the launch of CM.OSX™ and the appointment of Alison McKinnon as founding Managing Partner.
CM.OSX™ stands for Critical Marketing Operating Systems. It is designed to help CMOs, Marketing teams and In-House Agency functions make the right choices when it comes to the accelerated change brought on by AI.
BRX Group CEO Bridget Cleary said, “BRX has been the market leader in helping enterprise brands across Australia build brand value, reduce costs through automation, and lead the market in AI adoption at scale.
Many CMOs tell us they’re under growing pressure to deliver the efficiency and effectiveness promised by AI, but lack clarity on where to start, how to make the right choices, and how to train their teams to keep pace with change.
We have seen growing demand to help marketing teams build smarter workflows, automate routine tasks, develop responsible AI capabilities within their governance frameworks, and embed automation.
It was a logical next step to package it as a standalone service and we could think of no-one more qualified to deliver the CM.OSX™ promise than Alison McKinnon.”
McKinnon is a proven strategic marketing and transformation leader with more than two decades of experience helping enterprise organisations grow, evolve and build meaningful customer connections.
McKinnon spent almost 10 years at The Brand Agency across Melbourne and Perth as Head of Strategy and Client Services Director, working with clients including Bunnings, Rio Tinto and Wesfarmers.
