Podcasts about Flight Centre

As tariffs and border crackdowns continue stateside, the number of Australians taking trips to the US has slumped, with travel to Asia surging instead – a trend noticed by Flight Centre, which is taking a hit to its bottom line. It's not just passengers that are causing a headache for aviation amid the US uncertainty, however: if the trade war causes a Chinese slowdown, the resulting drop in demand for resources could have a knock-on impact on the FIFO sector, with NJE's Lim Kim Hai already looking to cut spending. Adam and Jake discuss what the Trump administration's policies abroad could do – and have already done – to aviation in Australia. Plus, is there a culture problem at general aviation businesses?

Flight Centre has cut its profit forecasts by more than $100 million as many people start to fear about US travel. Aussies are feeling the pinch with their streaming subscriptions… but rather than cancel, they’re just downgrading to ads. Facebook's Aussie revenue has jumped to $1.46 billion, butthe Australian Tax Office will likely see none of it! _ Learn more about iShares by BlackRock here Download the free app (App Store): http://bit.ly/FluxAppStorel Download the free app (Google Play): http://bit.ly/FluxappGooglePlay Daily newsletter: https://bit.ly/fluxnewsletter Flux on Instagram: http://bit.ly/fluxinsta Flux on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@flux.finance —- The content in this podcast reflects the views and opinions of the hosts, and is intended for personal and not commercial use.

Joining Shahin and Vinnie is marketing legend, Mark Ritson, Founder of the Mini MBA. From almost buying Kylie Minogue's house, to consulting, and building a global brand, Mark shares with us the journey of his Mini MBA.

Four years ago, Flight Centre’s global CMO Megan Henderson was tasked with leading a sweeping restructure of Flight Centre’s worldwide marketing operation – centralising five teams into one while overhauling its martech stack and contracts and simultaneously finding efficiencies and growth. Daunting. But Henderson knew that Fight Centre’s 60 million annual unique online visitors, broad customer comms channels yielding rich first party data plus circa 400 physical stores could help drive the business into fresh territory – adjacent travel market services beyond flights – while generating revenue via owned media packaged and sold to new and existing brand partners. Enter owned media valuations specialist, Sonder, which dived deep to benchmark and calculate the value of each and all of Flight Centres channels and assets – and highlight where it could go next as an owned media network. Now Henderson aims to make Flight Centre a global case study in how customers, data, physical and digital footprint combine to drive growth, revenue, profit and cross-funnel, cross-category expansion – while landing new paying partners. It’s now rolling out screens across all stores to boost brand building capability and link it through to first party data-powered conversion. “Having Sonder shine a light on what we could be doing with our digital screens has really fast-tracked the process for us to make sure that our stores have a minimum of two digital screens that I can use for brand advertising with all kinds of partners,” says Henderson. She’s now ensuring partners think of Flight Centre “as a mass market retailer with millions of customers online and in store… and see that as an opportunity that they can't get with a standard media buying mix.” Sonder co-founder, Jonathan Hopkins, says that’s the key takeout for businesses currently leaving money on the table by overlooking their owned media channels and assets: “There is vast opportunity out there. If you have a website, store network, an email program with a sizeable customer base, then you're more than halfway there to building an owned media proposition to leverage through your own marketing and with brand partners,” says Hopkins. “It’s all about seizing the opportunity.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The S&P 500 has extended its losing streak to four days as weak consumer confidence data weighed on sentiment. Nvidia dragged the NASDAQ lower ahead of its earnings report, while the Magnificent 7 stocks slipped into correction territory. Meanwhile, Tesla sales plunged 45% in Europe, and Krispy Kreme shares suffered a record drop. In Europe, stocks ended higher as gains in banking and healthcare offset weakness in technology. Commodities also faced pressure—oil hit a two-month low, gold saw profit-taking, and metals declined amid rising China tensions. Locally, Woolworths and Flight Centre’s earnings will be in focus today, while Aussie shares are set to open lower ahead of key inflation data.

In London, he and friend Geoff “Spy” Lomas, both of whom were working as vets, took their first steps into the travel industry in 1973 when they invested the equivalent of $A1300 in an aging bus and started operating budget double-decker bus trips around Europe, North Africa and Asia.Skroo's initial involvement with Top Deck ended in the mid 1980s, when he and his colleagues sold the business to management and devoted their full attention to Flight Centre, a business that had less than 30 shops at that time.As the long serving chief executive officer and managing director of the public company that grew from the small band of Flight Centre shops, Skroo has since presided over a golden era of growth and prosperity for Flight Centre Travel Group Limited.In 2022, under Skroo's leadership, Flight Centre Travel Group celebrated 40 years of taking off.Connect with GrahamFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/SkrooTurner/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/graham-turner-295bb6167/X: https://x.com/SkrooTurnerAbout Simon Bowen Simon has spent over two decades working with some of the most influential leaders across many complex industries and circumstances.

The Australian market declined after mixed data from China today, Australia's largest trading partner. Despite reaching record highs earlier in the week, the market is set to lose those gains due to concerns over China's economic performance, particularly in property investment and GDP growth. Domestically, financials led sector gains, while energy and utilities suffered. Key stock movements included Regis Resources' gold-fuelled surge and Flight Centre's sharp drop due to an uncertain outlook. Looking ahead, attention will focus on major earnings reports from Tesla and Amazon, along with local AGMs and quarterly updates.   The content in this podcast is prepared, approved and distributed in Australia by Commonwealth Securities Limited ABN 60 067 254 399 AFSL 238814.

The Government crackdown on truancy could be causing a drop in families taking holidays during term time.   Flight Centre data shows a 30% reduction in bookings during the school term compared to last year.   At the same time, bookings during July's school holidays are up 10%.  General Manager Heidi Walker told Mike Hosking that the old excuse of it being more expensive to travel in the holidays is unfortunately true.  She said that prices rise due to supply and demand, as more people are wanting to travel to those family destinations during the school holidays.  However, Walker said, booking as far in advance as you can is your best bet to get a good deal.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of Add To Cart, we are joined by Bianca Romano Smith, Ecommerce and Digital Manager at VRG GRL, which started life as a retail store in the Brisbane Arcade almost 17 years ago and has grown alongside its sibling founders. After moving online, VRG GRL has more recently shifted from a multi-brand online retail model to a dedicated in-house label. Bianca joined the VRG GRL team earlier this year and comes from a digital marketing and fashion background with previous roles at Universal Store and Black MIlk. In this chat Bianca shares her practical Tik Tok tips, how her team are using Meta with particular focus on Advantage Plus and her take on abandoned carts and how to deal with them. Plus she makes me look like a fool with one of the recent VRG GRL executions that I fell badly for.Links from the episode:VRG GRLShopify Plus (sponsored)Deliver In Person (sponsored) Questions answered:How is VRG GRL different in the market?

"Volevo qualcosa di diverso da Milano": Diego Ferrari, graphic designer, si racconta da Brisbane.

Meet Leigh Southern, the Team Manager of the newest professional team in Melbourne, the Melbourne Mavericks Super Netball Club. If you're looking to work in operations in sport, team management, or want to know how people have made career changes into sport, you're going to love Leigh's story. Leigh started his career in the tourism industry, but after a while realised it just wasn't for him. Not one to sit back, he did his research and came across a company called Stage & Screen, and began working on their Cricket Australia account to look after all their travel. This led to roles with the Melbourne Renegades and the ICC T20 Cricket World Cup, before landing at the Mavs. If you think you'd love to travel week in and week out with a professional team, listen to how Leigh made it his career. Lots to look out for including the skills you need to work in a similar role, the behind the scenes of what goes on during a game day, and how to go from being a babysitter for a WBBL club to a team management role.Enjoy this episode!We cover:(00:29) Who is Leigh Southern?(01:48) Hello and welcome to the SportsGrad Community!
