Chris Brandon is back at Flight Centre Travel Group, rejoining as Head of Travel Partnerships at FCTG’s recently launched loyalty brand, World360 Rewards.
Brandon, who spent nearly 18 years at Flight Centre, returns to FCTG after a stint at Luxury Escapes as senior manager or retail distribution.
Brandon says he’s thrilled with the move back to the global group.
“When I got the opportunity to come back to Flight Centre during what I think is the company’s most exciting chapter yet, it was an easy ‘yes’,” he states.
“The team has built something incredible with World360 Rewards, and I feel very lucky to be playing a role in helping Aussies travel more.
“I can’t wait to get stuck in and start working with all our existing partners, as well as new airlines, tour operators, tourism bodies, hoteliers and cruise lines.”
According to World360 Rewards Executive General Manager Clinton Hearne, Brandon’s industry experience will support the program’s continued growth.
“Chris has a deep understanding of both the travel industry and what our customers want from a loyalty program,” he says.
“Having someone of his calibre leading our travel partnerships puts us in a great position as we scale World360 Rewards.”
Flight Centre Travel Group officially launched its long-awaited first leisure loyalty program at a glitzy Sydney gathering earlier this year. Check out that story here.
