This time, we're interviewing Tim Fung, founder and CEO of Airtasker, a global marketplace connecting people who need tasks done with skilled locals looking for work. Launched in Australia in 2012 and now operating in the UK and US, Airtasker has redefined how communities engage with local services, building a trusted platform that empowers both task posters and taskers.
A firm believer in the power of brand over pure performance marketing, Tim has been using media capital as a core growth strategy, partnering with major broadcasters like Channel 7 in Australia and Channel 4 in the UK. Under his leadership, Airtasker scaled to millions of users, raised over $50 million in media capital, and successfully navigated an IPO. With a deep understanding of marketplace dynamics, trust-building, and strategic expansion, Tim is shaping the future of how online platforms connect people and services.
