ZUJI today announced the appointment of three new team members to its Australian-based marketing team.
The ZUJI Australia marketing team is now headed by Marketing Manager, Dean Wicks, who is responsible for all on- and offline marketing activities including search, CRM and public relations for both ZUJI and Online Travel Corporation (OTC) Australia, which is managed by ZUJI.
Dean has more than 15 years experience in travel, having worked for companies which include Cendant TDS (Octopus), Transonic and Royal Brunei Airlines.
“ZUJI is an exciting and growing brand in a dynamic industry with huge potential. We have a number of marketing initiatives in the pipeline for late 06/ early 07 associated with enhanced packaging booking technology, ZUJI’s growing hotel sales business and partnerships. I am looking forward to working with the existing and new talented ZUJI team members in Australia, and internationally,” Mr Wicks says.
Also joining the ZUJI Australia team is Anthony Middonte, in a newly created role of Manager Media Sales and Partnerships, and Jeff Chang in the role of Marketing Executive.
Anthony is responsible for managing local advertising on the ZUJI Australia site, as well as servicing Australian-based global advertisers, wishing to place media across Travelocity family companies and sites globally. Anthony has more than 15 years experience in media sales, previously holding roles at Fairfax, ACP, Sensis and Yahoo!
As Marketing Executive, Jeff is responsible for assisting with marketing and public relations implementations and relationships.
ZUJI Australia’s General Manager, Peter Smith, commented: “The new appointments to our marketing team represent a very exciting time for ZUJI, as we continue to grow and position ourselves as a leading online travel agent.”
