Carat is strengthening its Japan operation by relocating Alex
Abplanalp to the independent media agency's Tokyo office.
The move takes effect in March with Mr Abplanalp taking up the position
of director of Carat SPI.
Carat SPI was formed last August after Carat's acquisition of Strategic
Planners International (SPI). Carat SPI president Kim Walker said the
arrival of Mr Abplanalp, who has more than 15 years' experience in the
media specialist business, "will help us capitalise on the great
opportunities we face in the market".
