ASIA-PACIFIC – SINGAPORE, APRIL 1, 2011 – Wunderman has created two new regional roles to support its continued growth. Over the last five years, Wunderman has quadrupled its scale and presence across the Asia-Pacific region to become a digital powerhouse and full interactive, social, data and analytics capabilities.
Steve Hsia takes on the role of chief operating officer (COO), Wunderman Asia-Pacific, with the principal mission of overseeing the development of Wunderman and AGENDA operations across Greater China and South East Asia.
Previously CEO of AGENDA Asia, Hsia is now expanding his management role to Wunderman operations and will remain based out of Malaysia. Hsia will focus on driving new business, new offices and M&A developments.
Eric Ng has been appointed as chief client officer of Wunderman Asia-Pacific with focus on growing regional clients out of Greater China and reinforcing social media and e-commerce capabilities across the region.
Previously chief innovation officer of AGENDA Asia, Eric Ng joins the regional team and will remain based in Hong Kong.
Both roles report to Wunderman Asia-Pacific President Stephane Faggianelli directly and will complement the existing regional organization in Singapore and Hong Kong.
With more than 45% revenue growth across Asia-Pacific in 2010 following a very strong 2009, Wunderman features a diverse and robust client portfolio; including Colgate, Disneyland, Ford, Land Rover, L’Oreal, Microsoft, Nokia, Starbucks and Xbox.
“With such a strong growth despite the recession and the successful integration of AGENDA within the Wunderman network, it is now a strategic time to scale up our regional organization. Asia-Pacific is a priority region and we have aggressive plans to expand further our teams and capabilities,” said Stephane Faggianelli.
