Howatson+Co’s Clinton Duncan Joins Mumba Cloud as Chief Marketing Officer

Award-winning strategist Clinton Duncan has been appointed chief marketing officer of Australian HR-tech platform Mumba Cloud.

Clinton joins Mumba Cloud from Howatson+Company, where he served as group strategy director, having previously served at CHEP, Marcel Sydney, and Designworks across his two-decade career. 

His appointment marks a significant step in Mumba Cloud’s expansion plans, as the company aims to strengthen its position as a leading digital HR platform for frontline workers. Its executive team was recently bolstered by the appointment of CEO Gavin Levinsohn, who joined chief product officer and founder Anthony Zets.

Gavin said the addition of Clinton would help Mumba Cloud achieve rapid growth while preserving its brand and positioning.

“Clinton will ensure we can drive rapid growth without trading away our brand, our positioning, or any of the other important things that fast-growing SaaS companies pointlessly surrender in the name of sales, performance, and efficiency,” Gavin said.

In his new role, Clinton will oversee brand strategy, advertising, content, customer and product marketing, and PR and social efforts.

“Mumba Cloud has cracked the code of frontline workforce adoption for HR-tech,” Clinton said.

“It’s an impressive product, making complex processes seamless and intuitive. Transitioning from agency to client-side presents an exciting challenge. We have big ambitions, and I look forward to helping customers unlock the full potential of their frontline teams.”

He has won multiple Cannes Lions awards, including a Bronze for Mastercard’s ‘Touch Card’ — an initiative designed for the blind and low-vision community. His portfolio also includes campaigns for brands like 7-Eleven, Telstra, Honda Australia, and Judo Bank.
