What our team say

We have asked the some of the team for some honest feedback on what working at Touchpoint means to them.
It was so good we have decided to share some of this with you!

  • A Digital Solution Consultants view of Touchpoint

    Most workplaces make grand statements about employee values and career advancement. The reality is often different, with organisational rigidity stifling individual aspirations, despite HR blessings.

    Smaller, younger companies are by nature more fluid – the proximity of employees to company managers better tunes individual needs with organisational goals. The upshot is happier and more productive workers, and that's good for everyone.

    I enjoy the ever-changing and technically advancing digital marketing space and view my role as a discipline that compliments brand communication through consumer engagement, brand awareness and digital interaction. Digital marketing allows personification of a brand by essentially capturing the essence of that brands engaged consumers.

    Moving from Touchpoint project management to digital solutions development means that I can identify and drive brand engagement through digital solutions but also interact with individuals.

    EXCITEMENT: "Because we often work on big campaigns and use the latest technology, we're at marketing's cutting edge. That's pretty exciting".

    FLEXIBILITY AND FREEDOM: "In some ways I'm my own boss. If there's something I want

    to do, or if I require any training or help, then there's scope for me to do something about it."

    KNOWLEDGE AND SUPPORT: "You get a lot of support. Our experience in the digital space means that we have a very knowledgeable and

    supportive team. It comes from working on so many campaigns. Internally, there's always someone who can spark an idea or provide the right steer. If you've got a big idea, you know the support is there to pull it off."

    FUTURE OPPORTUNITY: "Managers move people to where they're best suited. It's a positive thing. Working where you add most value is good for everyone, including customers. Not many companies do that."

     

    The last word

    "Everyone wants to extend themselves and learn new stuff. Certain workplaces embrace this idea and others are so ossified they can't cope with any sort of career development fluidity. Choose wisely."


  • A Senior Consultants view of Touchpoint

    So-called big brands benefit from critical mass of awareness and appeal. Everything comes easier – new customers, price premiums, better partners, and even prospective employees, who are lured by the same brand cues that excite customers.

    However, when it comes to learning opportunities and accelerated development, it sometimes pays to think, well, smaller. Touchpoint's Sydney-based senior consultant, forsook an internship at a large US corporate for an account management position at Touchpoint. His peers thought he was mad. But while they march to the staid rhythm of serious-minded brand management. He works on some of the country's largest digital marketing campaigns, a galaxy of brands, and now spearheads Touchpoint's Australia business drive. Not bad for a young fella.

    BECOME AN EXPERT, FAST: "Touchpoint is one of only a few SaaS-based marketing platforms. Because the platform is advanced, and there are few other suppliers, people working here immediately become experts in this space,"

    BROAD EXPOSURE: "It's the nature of being a specialist supplier, but also our position in the industry. In the short time I've worked at Touchpoint I've supported a huge number of brands and their campaigns."

    WORKING ON THE EDGE: "Digital is spearheading marketing's revolution. Working in campaign enablement, as we do here, puts us at the cusp of innovation. I've built a valuable skill set, which could lead into any number of advanced marketing roles,"

    IF YOU'RE GOOD YOU'LL GO FAR – AND QUICKLY: "Smaller companies by nature are more fluid and flexible than, say, a corporate. But when things move quickly it also means you learn faster and opportunities to take greater responsibility are more abundant. If you're good, you'll develop quickly."

     

    The last word

    "Don't be fooled by the idea that big brands offer the best opportunities for career advancement. The fast movers might not be as visible, but that's often where the biggest career opportunities are."

     

  • A Java Developers view of Touchpoint

    He is a smart guy with a Graduate Diploma in Computer Science mostly comprises A+ passes, which is one reason why his current role is so broad. But he's quick to credit his professional peers and workplace for his progression. Great workplace culture and hiring polices play a crucial role in individual performance. He says a team of similarly talented minds lifts the performances of everyone. In that regard, Touchpoint sets very high standards prospective employees must satisfy. This is one big reason why Touchpoint is at the head of New Zealand's interactive marketing services industry.
