She joins the AAMA from Screen Producers Australia, and takes up the post on December 2.
"I'm delighted that Rachelle is joining the team,” said Sunita Gloster, CEO.
“Her appointment is further evidence of our determination to deliver on our new strategy and deliver member benefits across our three core pillars.
“After working with Rachelle at Omnilab Media, I know she's one of the few individuals who can tackle a role like this. I've had her on my wish list for some time and I'm really thrilled we were able to snap her up."
The AANA has also appointed Alina Bain to the role of director of operations and regulatory affairs.
"Alina has been instrumental in developing the AANA's new strategic plan and in establishing the AANA as the voice for advertisers with regulators,” said Gloster.
“Alina is leading our engagement with the new government to help ensure that they understand that marketers remain committed to ensuring that the self-regulatory system continues to meet community expectations."
Gibson has been appointed ahead of the Global Marketer Conference taking place in Sydney in March 2014.
