Australian surf accessories brand Ocean & Earth appointed Thomas Edgar as head of marketing. Edgar was most recently global eyewear marketing manager at Smith Optics.
He joined Smith Optics in 2021 as marketing director, Australia. Past marketing roles over his 15-year career include stints at several Australia-based firms, including UrbnSurf, Modern Pirate, Falls Creek Ski Lifts Pty, and Dragon Alliance.
“This appointment is a deliberate investment in the long-term growth of the Ocean & Earth brand,” said Phil Macdonald, CEO, Ocean & Earth. “As we continue to strengthen our global presence, it’s critical we have leadership in place that understands both our heritage and where the brand is heading. Thomas brings world-class experience, strong creative instincts, and a deep connection to surf culture — making him a natural fit for O&E as we enter our next phase of growth,”
“I’m excited for the future at O&E and being part of a core heritage brand during this pivotal industry and culture shift. It’s an authentically Australian business with a strong vision for the future that has never shifted from its core promise,” said Edgar.
