  • Greg Alder

    HEAD OF TRAINING AND EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCE

    If you saw Greg’s high school reports, you’d notice something glaring. With each year, his results got worse. Why? He got bored.

    He studied architecture because he loved design. He got bored with the drafting. He studied psychology and worked in research because he was interested in people. He got bored with focus groups.

    Advertising was next. He never got bored in advertising. Working in Australia, the UK and Mexico, Greg helped shape many brands into the household names they are today. They include Bundaberg Rum, Singapore Airline and Johnnie Walker.

    Greg learnt 3 valuable lessons in advertising. One, the power of a brand in attracting staff and customers. Two, the importance of creativity on happiness and fulfilment. Three, the potency of storytelling.

    He has developed brand, creativity and innovation programs for clients like Procter & Gamble, Times Group of India, Volvo, Woolworths and Marie Claire.
