CMC Markets hires James McMaster to head ANZ marketing

CMC Markets appoints James McMaster to lead ANZ marketing

CMC Markets (LON:CMCX) has brought in James McMaster as Head of Marketing ANZ, working from the broker's Sydney office.

McMaster joins from outside the trading sector. Still, he's no newcomer to marketing. Over the years, he's held senior B2B and B2C roles at recruitment groups Hays and Adzuna. He has also worked with fintech firms Wonga and Paysafe, along with gaming brands KM iGaming, Bodog Nation, and Sportingbet. In addition, he spent a short stint in 2016 handling digital marketing at ThinkMarkets.

The move comes as CMC's Australia business continues to stand out. In the first half of fiscal 2026, the company posted a record £59.0 million in revenue from its Australia unit, which made up 32% of total group revenue. CMC also maintains a partnership with Australia's second largest bank, Westpac.
