    • Careers

The Young Professionals Podcast (TYPP), proudly brought to you by ADAPT Careers (https://adaptcareers.com.au) and co-hosted by Luke Marriott and Nicholas Sargeant (Sarge).



This week we chat with Tom Bennett, Innovation Manager at Carlton & United Breweries (https://cub.com.au), a business unit within Asahi Beverages.



Tom completed a Bachelor of Arts at the University of Melbourne (https://study.unimelb.edu.au/find/courses/undergraduate/bachelor-of-arts), majoring in Media and Communications, during which he interned at an independent creative agency.



Our guest's diverse career began with his first full-time job as a Media Coordinator for Starcom (https://www.starcomww.com), and has included other roles working in-house as a Media Analyst at Helloworld Travel (https://www.helloworld.com.au), as an Account Manager at an independent creative agency AJF, then onto Asahi as a New Product Development Manager.



CUB’s portfolio of brands include some of the biggest in the market with the likes of Carlton Draught, VB, Great Northern, Asahi, and Peroni (CUB) and Vodka Cruiser and Woodstock (Premium Beverages). Not to mention their Craft portfolio, including 4 Pines, Mountain Goat, Balter and Yak.



Tom was working at Asahi during their merger with CUB a couple of years ago, which we look forward to diving into in this week’s episode.
