Resume

My name is Greg Tingle. At 38, I've enjoyed a thoroughly rewarding decade long career in the national and 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 to my own media and publicity company, AustralianSportsEntertainment.com.

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-View, Optus 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 dot-commers such as PSINet Australia in both marketing and technical roles, eventually building my skills to develop two of the most popular websites / portals of their kind in the world; Australian Sports Entertainment aka www.gregtingle.tv and Media Man Australia aka www.mediaman.com.au

In January 2002, the media and publicity company business I had developed from the ground up, AustralianSportsEntertainment.com, 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 world's, greatest business entitles and personalities. These include, but by no means are limited to:
