Scott Blume, chief executive officer of Zuji.
How many staff?
Eighty across four countries.
Marketing responsibilities?
Building the Zuji brand and delighting the public with fresh, fun and creative advertising and marketing campaigns in our target markets.
Zuji recently launched a highly integrated online and offline advertising/marketing campaign in Hong Kong with the aim to raise awareness, create a lot of noise in the marketplace and draw visitors to the Zuji site. Our approach included a floating billboard, mobile phones, tactical ads, cross promotions and corresponding online features used in varying combinations. The key was to get people to 'think Zuji' when they thought of travel.
How do you get a job there?
The work environment at Zuji is highly multicultural and multi-national. As with our brand positioning, the 'guru' theme prevails, allowing a fresh and fun approach to the way we do things. Plus, it's a performance-driven culture which allows individuals to excel and be recognised and rewarded for their performance.
Department or office transfers?
Yes and certainly encouraged for high potential team members.
Any training offered?
Certainly. Working at Zuji is a continuous learning experience, especially when you travel.
Travelling to different countries enables you to meet people from different cultures and learn about their unique travel needs. By listening to their feedback, this helps Zuji to improve and tailor the services we offer to our customers.
Pay and perks?
We pay market competitive compensation and have a company and personal performance-based incentive scheme.
But the big payoff is being a part of the internet revolution - changing the way travellers book their travel.
We want travellers to get 'online not inline'.
Long hours?
At times, since we are a start-up company. But it's a matter of focus and priority because there will always be a lot of things we want to accomplish as a relatively new company.
