Greg Tingle - Career Blog update

This particular company is also world renown for innovation and its sound environmental principals. More news as it comes to hand.

Bio:

My name is Greg Tingle. At 35, I’ve enjoyed a thoroughly rewarding 9-year career in the national & international media, entertainment, sales and marketing & technology industries.

I’ve created, produced & managed multi-platform sales & marketing campaigns for everything from Optus Vision, Optus ITV, Telstra, to my own media and publicity company, Media Man Australia.

I entered the world of sales and marketing in 1996 via way of audition for sales representative for Optus Vision (only 2 people out of 30 were selected). I went on to become multi-time “Salesperson of the Month”, and was promoted to Account Executive, and later, Pay-Per Vision Liaison and Foreign Language Channels Executive, where I built on the PPV and bundling parts of the Optus business.

From 1999 to 2001 I worked for companies such as Telstra, ID Media and PSINet Australia, in both sales / marketing and technical roles, eventually building my skills to develop one of the most popular websites / portals of its kind in the world; Media Man Australia aka www.mediaman.com.au

In January 2002, the media and publicity company business I had developed from the ground up, Media Man Australia, was fully launched, which included airtime on Radio 2UE, 3AW and ABC Radio National. We also attracted positive mention on New York’s Media Channel, The Sydney Morning Herald, The Boston Phoenix and Channel 31 Sydney, where I was a TV presenter, journalist and publicist.

2003 saw me further develop our publicity, personality and promotional sides of business, where I now enjoy being the agent, publicist and promoter of some of Australia’s, and indeed the worlds, greatest business entitles and personalities (full list available upon request).

I have placed clients and talent onto most major Australian media mediums, across TV, Radio, Print (newspapers and magazines) and New Media (over 1 million hits per month).

Media outlets where my clients have appeared include, but are by no means limited to SMH, The Age, Daily Telegraph, Channel 9, 7, ABC, SBS, Radio 2UE, 2GB, 2CCC, Wealth Creator Magazine, The Bulletin (full list available upon request).
