Over the last year, Shaun has demonstrated unrivaled passion for the business and has laid strong foundations to build the future of the agency. With such a great plan for transition between Nathan and Shaun, the new management team will ensure a seamless evolution for clients and staff, as well as take this opportunity to more closely align our culture with the network’s successful global vision. FCB thanks Nathan, former CEO, for his long service to the network and wishes him the best of luck in all future endeavors,” said FCB International President Sébastien Desclée.
For the past 12 months, the FCB group in Kuala Lumpur has been expanding their agency management, bringing in best-in-class talent from creative, digital and business management in order to enhance their offering in the region.
Mr Tay added, “We’ve been ramping up our creative standards to meet evolving client requirements, especially in the digital field, where we aim to leverage our formidable storytelling capabilities with new channel execution. FCB’s rebrand set an exciting new strategic direction and we’ve been rejuvenating the agency in terms of culture, operations and creative output in line with that. Over the last year we have brought in new skills and strength across the board to ensure we can be a business partner with a strong POV on what our clients should be doing for the growth of their brands.”
