Celebrating the leaders shaping the future of Australian marketing

As we begin 2026, the Australian Marketing Institute is pleased to welcome the new State Committee Members joining AMI across the country. Your expertise, enthusiasm and commitment strengthen our national community and support AMI’s mission to ignite brilliance within the marketing profession.

We also congratulate the 2026 State Committee Chairs and Deputy Chairs, including both newly appointed and re-elected leaders. Each state has a dedicated committee comprising Chairs, Deputy Chairs and Committee Members who play a vital role in supporting Australia’s marketing community.

These leaders help bring the AMI mission to life, curating meaningful connections, supporting capability-building and creating opportunities for marketers at every stage of their career. Their work reflects what AMI stands for: igniting brilliance, fostering community and progressing the careers of marketing professionals across Australia.

Why State Committees Matter

Behind every AMI event, networking opportunity, partnership, and professional experience is a dedicated group of volunteers who give their time, expertise and ideas to elevate our profession.

Our State Committees:

• Advocate for AMI membership and professional recognition

• Foster participation through local events and industry engagement

• Represent AMI within their state’s marketing community

• Support member development across all career stages

• Champion the AMI Marketers’ Competency Framework and learning pathways

Together, they are the connection point between AMI’s national strategy and the vibrant, on-the-ground communities we serve.
