Former Expert360’s head of marketing, Michael Tan, has clinched the newly created role of head of growth and marketing position at FlexCareers.

FlexCareers is an Australian technology platform and consulting business that connects individuals with what it calls progressive employers. It has built a community of more than 110,000 (70 per cent women), and attracts over 200 new members daily.

“I believe that flexibility, diversity and equality are vitally important to today’s workforce,” Tan said in a statement. 

“FlexCareers’ vision to change the world’s ways of working for the better resonated with me, and I was deeply impressed with by the quality of their leadership team and technology platform. It’s a project that speaks to my own personal and professional experiences and something I believe will be central to the future of work.”

Tan brings over 15 years of professional experience to the FlexCareers team, having worked across a diverse range of traditional and digital marketing leadership roles.

As one of the earliest team members at Expert360, Tan supported the business through a period of significant expansion. During his tenure, the online marketplace grew from 4500 consultants to over 19,000 consultants.

He specialises in designing and leading growth strategies to rapidly scale startups, a role he has performed across a diverse portfolio of companies, notably ZYB, the Danish mobile community sold to Vodafone in 2008.

He also worked as Telstra’s online marketing manager, responsible for the strategy, development and maintenance of telstraglobal.com, customer acquisition, lead nurturing and content.

As head of growth at FlexCareers, Tan said he will “lead a small team to do good work, for a good cause.”

“Taking a data driven approach, we methodically grow our community, engagement and ultimately business success,” he said.

FlexCareers CEO, Natalie Goldman, said she’s delighted to have Tan join the team. 

“We’re excited to see how Michael will utilise his diverse skill set to drive the expansion of the FlexCareers community. As head of growth and marketing, he will play a crucial role in developing and executing the next phase of development for our company.”

Marketing prowess versus the enigma of the metaverse

Flash back to the classic film, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Television-obsessed Mike insists on becoming the first person to be ‘sent by Wonkavision’, dematerialising on one end, pixel by pixel, and materialising in another space. His cinematic dreams are realised thanks to rash decisions as he is shrunken down to fit the digital universe, followed by a trip to the taffy puller to return to normal size.

More than money talks in sports sponsorship

As a nation united by sport, brands are beginning to learn money alone won’t talk without aligned values and action. If recent events with major leagues and their players have shown us anything, it’s the next generation of athletes are standing by what they believe in – and they won’t let their values be superseded by money.
