SINGAPORE – Omnicom Media Group has promoted Tony Harradine to the role of CEO for Asia Pacific as Cheuk Chiang steps down to return to Australia. Formerly the Chief Investment Officer, Harradine will now take on the leading role for the group’s operations in Asia Pacific, reporting into Daryl Simm, the global CEO and Chairman of Omnicom Media Group.

Speaking on the appointment, Simm commented: “Cheuk has made significant contributions to our organization, not only as leader of OMG APAC, but also before that in establishing PHD in the region. We’re grateful for all his work and we all wish him the very best moving forward.

“Tony’s experiences make him an excellent choice to lead APAC. He has true multi-market perspective, having taken on roles in Europe, North America and Australia before moving to his current APAC position in 2016. His appreciation of local differences is critical given the cultural scope of APAC. At the same time, he understands the requirements to deliver consistent solutions on international clients. In his current APAC role, Tony has gained experience harnessing our Group strengths, as well as progressing our ways of working. His commercial mindset means he is focused on taking action to deliver results for clients. He’ll be hitting the ground running,” added Simm.
