NEW START UP MEMBER – OLX STUDIOS

OLX Studios is a marketing consultancy founded by Olivia Alexandersson.

Our core services focus on CRM and Email Marketing, where we assist clients in boosting revenue, engagement, and customer experience through strategic email marketing. Currently, OLX Studios consists of a small but dedicated team of two, working with clients across various B2C industries such as fashion retail, beauty, and homeware, as well as B2B sectors like tech and logistics.

Olivia founded OLX Studios in May 2023. After several years working in agency and eCommerce settings, she decided to take the leap and establish her own consultancy. With a well rounded skill set in digital design, strategy, data analysis, and technical implementation, Olivia is able to offer end-to-end services for businesses seeking to elevate their marketing efforts through automation and email campaigns.

After six months of operating, Olivia hired her first employee to help deliver successful marketing strategies for clients. OLX Studios works closely with a select group of clients, integrating with their internal teams to maximise outcomes. The vision is to remain a boutique consultancy, working with only a handful of clients to ensure a personalised and highly effective approach.

Australia presents great opportunities in the eCommerce sector, which has allowed us to collaborate with a variety of exciting businesses. While we are based in Melbourne, Australia, we work with clients globally and do not limit our focus to the Australian market alone.

NEW CORPORATE MEMBER – Wallenius Wilhelmsen

 

Wallenius Wilhelmsen – Sustainable logistics for a world in motion

WW vessel, the Swedish Flagged M/V FIDELIO alongside at WW’s MIRRAT Terminal in Melbourne

 

Wallenius Wilhelmsen is the global leader in integrated vehicle transportation and logistics, supporting our customers across their supply chain, all the way from the factory to the end-consumer. Our ambition is to lead the way in transforming shipping and logistics. With 9,500+ employees and 81 nationalities working in 28 different countries, we aim to consistently be the customers’ preferred integrated logistics partner. Together, we are building resilient, connected, data-driven, decarbonized solutions fit for the future.

Benefiting from over 160 years of heritage and history (with more than 125 years of history in Australia), Wallenius Wilhelmsen includes several brands, Wallenius Wilhelmsen Ocean, Wallenius Wilhelmsen Solutions, EUKOR, ARC, Armacup and Keen, and today has operations in three key segments: Shipping services, Logistics services and Government services. Our head office is located in Oslo, Norway. The company was initially created in 1999 as a result of the merger between Sweden’s Wallenius Lines and Norway’s Wilhelmsen Lines which created Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics. In 2017 this became WalleniusWilhelmsen ASA and listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange. We provide a comprehensive land-based logistics network through eight terminals, 11 inland distribution networks and more than 66 service and processing centres located around the world. In addition, we work in-house at many manufacturers’ plants preparing vehicles for the end consumers. At sea, we have more than 125 vessels on 15 trade routes, serving six continents. The RoRo vessels in our fleet typically have a higher-than-average number of hoistable decks and a stronger ramp capacity than our rivals. This provides enhanced flexibility allowing us to carry multiplex cargo answering the needs of a variety of customers. By fleet size, we are the world’s largest operator of pure car and truck carriers (PCTCs).2023 was a very strong year for Wallenius Wilhelmsen. Capacity constraints in the car carrier markets have led to solid earnings for the shipping services segment and we have consistently renewed multi-year contracts at rates reflecting the current market. Contract renewals have focused on integrating offerings across ocean and land-based services, combined with decarbonization initiatives such as the use of biofuel. Furthermore, we have seen very solid growth and margin improvements in the logistics and government segments.

The Oceania inbound Trade is one of the key global trade lanes for WW. Historically this trade has relied on imports from the Americas and Europe, however as sourcing points continue to shift, North Asia, driven by the increase in exports from China, is fast emerging as a key sourcing region for our region. Here we see a growing number of European and American Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM’s) shift their production to China, and most importantly we see China’s rise to now be the largest exporter of electric vehicles worldwide.

Wallenius Wilhelmsen is well positioned to satisfy the growing demand in this trade, offering integrated logistics solutions in both China and Australia, and shipping services through its group company ARMACUP.

Through our land-based and shipping services activities, Wallenius Wilhelmsen provides services to several major Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM’s) from Sweden, ranging from automobile manufacturers to mining and construction plant equipment manufacturers.  

WW’s Equipment Processing Centre located in Laverton, Victoria. One of 5 EPC’s around the country.

Electrolux is the only whitegoods manufacturer in Australia, with our Adelaide cooking plant producing around 350,000 ovens and cookers annually for sale in Australia, New Zealand and a growing number of export markets.

Electrolux Offering

Electrolux products include refrigerators, dishwashers, washing machines, cookers, vacuum cleaners, air conditioners and small domestic appliances. The Group is the only appliance manufacturer in the world to offer complete solutions for both consumers and professionals.

Electrolux Purpose

Our future is determined by the way we all live our lives. That’s why we strive to improve everyday life for millions of people and the world around us. It is embodied in everything we do. In every idea, every product and every human interaction.

We believe that outstanding taste experiences should be easy for everyone. That there is always a better way to care for our clothes to make them look and feel new longer. That the home should be a place for wellbeing, a place to care for ourselves and our loved ones.

To succeed, we continuously rethink and improve our ways of working – internally, and together with our customers and partners.

By creating desirable solutions and great experiences that enrich peoples’ daily lives and the health of our planet, we want to be a driving force in defining enjoyable and sustainable living.

This is us – at Electrolux we shape living for the better.

Mission

We reinvent taste, care and wellbeing experiences for more enjoyable and sustainable living around the world.

To create these experiences we focus our innovation on three areas:

We help people make great tasting, healthy food for friends and family. An oven that cooks evenly or a hob with precise temperature controls and high speed, can enable consumers and give them the confidence and skills to do well.

We help consumers care for their clothes by making them stay new and great looking for longer. Electrolux delivers solutions that allow consumers to put their favourite clothes into the washing machine and be completely confident in the result.

People are concerned about the air that they breathe and their environment. We call that wellbeing. Electrolux helps consumers get a better home environment through floor care, air care and water care.

Drivers

The purpose is underpinned by three drivers: Act Sustainably, Create Better Experiences and Always Improve. The drivers guide our behaviours, give direction to our strategies, and convey the core of how we behave as a company.

Act sustainably

Inspire and contribute to a change for the better.

We are determined to shape living for the better of our customers and for the health of our planet. We are proud of our Scandinavian heritage and our accomplishments, but we intend to improve further and to make smarter, more resource efficient solutions available for everyone. To develop better operations for our co-workers and the communities around us. To always act ethically and respect human rights. To work together with customers and professional partners who share our desire to change for the better.

Create better experiences

Design solutions that elevate the everyday.

Experiences are in the food our customers put on their plate, the way they care for their clothes, the quality of the air they breathe or the water they drink. Better experiences not only elevate our customers’ every day, but are also mindful of our society and our planet.

Always improve

Think new and never settle.

We never settle, and are always curious and forward leaning. We see opportunities where others see problems and make things happen. That is what it takes to shape living for the better.
