Mark (Brownie) Brownie

Mark Brownie joined TCO in June 2010 as Sales and Marketing Manager. After obtaining his Bachelor of Media from Macquarie University (an experience Mark described as “pretty alright”), Mark made a name for himself in the Print Media industry working as Sales Manager across some of Australia’s leading music titles, which instilled in him a love for music, and of people.

When he isn’t kicking goals/closing/having wins/making it happen, you will catch Mark skateboarding, having a ‘couple’ of beers or workshopping schemes to make millions importing T-Shirts from China and adding hilarious slogans to them for resale in the Australian market (he has done the numbers on this and remains confident).

April (taffy) Tafe

Before joining the TCO family April was busy leading a nomadic lifestyle roaming Europe, earning a crust by different means, from running French ski guides, working in a Greek Island hotel and working for a London design company.

After 2 years of gallivanting she decided it was time she shipped her life back to Australia to start a new chapter and pick up where she left off.

April studied at the Queensland College of Art in Brisbane, (graduating with a Bachelor of Film and Screen Media Production), where she took to making music videos for indie bands (and waiting up until 2am to catch their slot on Rage), short films and documentaries.

Since then she has worked on corporate videos, spent a summer getting sunburnt working on a Nickelodeon Kids show about girls that morph into mermaids, and worked at Film events to schmooze with B-grade stars and drink cocktails.

Lured by the TCO neon sign and friendly faces, April brings her production knowledge, energy and support to help produce more great content with the creative kids at TCO.

Carly Osman

Carly is the latest ‘pommy’ recruit, hot footing from London in search of warm weather and the beach lifestyle. With an obsession of all things Social Media, her role as TCO’s Community Manager hits the spot perfectly.

In the UK, Carly worked for three years as the Marketing and Events Manager at the APA, where she spent her time proclaiming the value of branded content. Her role entailed finding ways to demonstrate and showcase the deep levels of engagement that is created through specifically tailored and targeted content.

Now living in Manly, (she is English after all), she is overcoming her fear of the native Australian wildlife and currently holds the record for the most failed surfing attempts.
