“When MEC was smaller, it was easy for APAC management to maintain an overview of the total operation in Singapore,” said Joost Dop, CEO of MEC Asia-Pacific. “Given our considerable growth in recent years, we see a need for greater integration if we are to ensure that clients benefit from the cross-fertilisation of ideas, research and resources."
"Connie and Sharon have each been with MEC for over ten years, and we believe that they are more than a safe pair of hands and that they will ensure that MEC Singapore continues to be one of our most creative and successful offices in Asia. Being based here, I will take personal responsibility for the progress of the new management team,” he added.
Chan and Soh's promotions also means a move upwards for Michelle Wong, who becomes general manager. She will run day-to-day operations of the agency's locally based clients and teams, and will be supported by group account directors Jennifer Loke and Constance Lim.
Meanwhile Guillaume Conteville joins from MEC London as a regional director, managing MEC's international clients. Also within the Global Solutions team, Ang Wan Gyn and Joan Han have been promoted to group account director level.
