Meet The Klook ANZ BD Team - 10 Questions with Ashleigh Mcewen

We sat down with Ashleigh to go through 10 rapid-fire questions - 

When I saw Klook was advertising for a position, they described a job that was everything I love about the travel industry with a company that promotes creativity and new ideas. From the day I started I've been surrounded by a team that supports each other and any new idea that pop up along the way. They’re not afraid to think outside the box and push boundaries which is something I love about the company

I started with Klook not long before Covid began so it was an interesting time to start to say the least. Whilst we could have all done without Covid, for me at Klook it’s actually been filled with new challenges and exciting opportunities. We’ve been able to work on projects that we may not have ever been able to focus on without it. We’ve been creative and pushed boundaries working on a Dine & Discover campaign and a Hunter Valley wineries project where we built the largest QR code made entirely out of wine glasses, plus many more!

I headed on a trip earlier in the year to Port Lincoln followed by a few days in Coffin Bay and could not recommend Coffin Bay more highly! For those oyster lovers out there we did an in-water oyster tasting experience and explored the surrounding beaches. Port Lincoln is also where you depart for shark cage diving so the area has something for everyone.

Italy - my partner and I spent a month travelling around Italy in 2019 and I fell in love with the country and it really kickstarted my love of Italian food and wine. If I could visit anywhere every year, it would be Capri.

I would love to get up to Queensland to visit the Whitsundays (if they’ll ever let us in!). Internationally, South of France is next on my hitlist

It’s safe to say I’m not the most self-motivated person workout wise. I’m the person you see walking straight to the treadmill if I ever head to the gym without a class booked in! Having a workout buddy through covid has helped me to get into a routine each morning and kept me accountable. I also try to make sure I get out for a walk each day

Oat Cappuccino - if I’m trying to reduce my coffee intake I’ll opt for Chai Latte. For those city slickers out there, head to Hustle on George - they’re the best!

Italian hands down! I don’t discriminate on what type of Italian food, I will eat anything and everything Italian topped off with an Aperol Spritz.

I look after NSW so I’ve been spending a lot of time working with our marketing team on upcoming campaigns such as Dine and Discover, 11:11 and now starting to make sure we’re ready for inbound to return as we see markets begin opening up.

Getting the whole team together for a trip to the Hunter Valley where we built the largest QR code out of wine glasses and enjoyed a wine or three together!
