Block layoffs wipe out Australia’s Afterpay marketing staff
The Afterpay marketing team in Australia has been hit hard
The fallout from Block’s global layoffs is hitting Australia, with a swathe of marketing staff among cuts that have eliminated 60% of the company’s local full-time roles.
Almost two dozen Australian staff working across marketing and communications at Block, Square and Afterpay have taken to Linkedin over the past week to announce they were among the 4,000 global cuts announced by Jack Dorsey.
Leading the pack are its chief marketing officer, Joel Moran, and VP of advertising, Andrew Gilbert.
