Bio
Aster Lai
I have been working as marketing manager for Visit Finland in Hong Kong. Astor’s marketing campaign always draw my attention, he kept applying innovative idea to enhance Australia exposure. He also strength in working with non-trade partner, recent SONY campaign was best example to showcase. When I was working at Tourism Events and Queensland in 2013, we worked together for a joint promotion with Yahoo, his digital marketing knowledge was a great contribution to the success of the campaign, I look forward to have co-operation with him in coming future.

Astor has been a super switched-on marketer and comms professional. With solid experience in digital media in particular, Astor has brought Tourism Australia HK office’s campaign to new heights. He is also well connected with KOLs and is able to connect and transform PR opportunities to awesome viral campaigns. While you may have seen a few TV news anchors diverging to culture and travel coverages, you may not know that Astor was the mastermind behind Tourism Australia’s 主播帶你遊澳洲 campaign. It was a fresh idea in 2014, bringing overwhelming reach. When I was working in Tourism & Events Queensland, I had always enjoyed working with Astor … bouncing ideas and delivering great activities. Astor should also be recognized by his humour and fashion sense. This man always manage to surprise you and brings joy to the workplace! I would work with Astor again any day!
