Glow brings on experienced marketer, Paul Wells, as its new global marketing director
Melbourne-based technology research firm, Glow, has a new global marketing director based out of Australia.
Paul Wells is taking up the new posting at the SaaS business after more than a decade of consulting for brands such as Piaggio, Mercure Hotels, Walgreens Boots and the London 2012 Olympic Games. He’s also undertaken stints with MediaCom and Havas based in Melbourne, where he led projects for brands including Puma, Cricket Australia and Fonterra.
Wells’ appointment follows several other senior recruits at Glow in recent months, including Derek Brown and Neil Gupta as managing directors for the Asia-Pacific region and the UK, respectively.
Credit: Glow Glow CEO, Tim Clover, said Wells brought two decades of marketing expertise and strong experience across multiple sectors and disciplines.
“We sought him out for his strong leadership, strategic smarts and impressive track record of building international brands. He's a great addition to our growing team,” Clover said.
“Paul’s arrival signals a step change for us as we continue our expansion into the UK and US markets. As our chief marketer, he will be responsible for providing vision, guiding commercial direction and stewarding the Glow brand to new heights.”
Glow was established in 2013 by Clover, a former PwC director, and is focused on research technology. The company boasts of access to 60 million consumers globally through its partnership with consumer panel provider, Dynata.
Wells said it was a great time to be in the technology sector. “Glow has quickly established an enviable reputation as a real disruptor in this space, becoming one of the market research industry's favourite secret weapons,” he said.
“I relish the challenges of this next phase of global expansion and helping the brand blow its cover.”

OK, so you’re probably thinking: “Here comes another article to badger me about living in my bubble.” And also, “I bet this bubble-bashing piece will go on to explain how I can achieve better results through some heady dose of new life experiences, new routines and annoyingly different opinions on social media.”
Every day, there are new predictions and studies on the future of work, the state of the economy and the unfolding global pandemic. All of which creates uncertainty and heightens the imperative of effective leadership.
