Mark Armsden
Director Communication Services

|
Mark brings close to 20 years of communications
experience with a career that kicked off as an award-winning
journalist at Rupert Murdoch’s News Limited in Australia. He moved
to Hong Kong in 1993 to continue his writing career.
In 1996 Mark joined the Travel Trade Gazette (TTG) Asia
as its Hong Kong Bureau Chief and North Asia News Editor during the
SAR’s handover to China. He then went on to launch the high-profile
Conferences, Exhibitions and Incentives Asia Pacific
magazine.
Mark then joined Tourism Australia (based in Hong Kong), where he
was responsible for launching and establishing its Asian Business
Tourism department, which focused on the incentive and conference
sectors. It was during his Tourism Australia tenure that Australia
received the single largest Asian incentive group ever…15,000 sales
staff from Amway China.
Mark has also worked in Singapore, Bangkok and Dubai, and firmly
believes that communicating the correct message in a format with
which the recipient is most comfortable is a key factor in
solidifying awareness in a brand.
