OMD launches on the back of key international clients with a presence in the emerging Southeast Asian countries, such as Visa International, which is also a Red Dot client.
Omnicom Media Group’s regional MD, Southeast Asia, Jim Goh (pictured right), said: “Establishing our presence in new markets such as Cambodia and Laos is very important from a global network perspective.”
“We have met with various local agencies in Cambodia. We were impressed by the team at Red Dot and are certain that their professional capabilities and their work culture will complement ours,” he added.
Red Dot opened for business in Cambodia in 2000 with three staff, and launched in Laos in 2007. The agency now has 50 staff.
Managing director John Seow (pictured left), commented: “With OMD’s resources behind us, we will be able to offer our clients a whole new level of brand building and media communications capabilities."
He added: "After decades of turbulence, Cambodia is now enjoying a peaceful period of political stability showered by an escalating economic boom. The peaceful state of affairs in the region has attracted an influx of multinational businesses. The same thing is happening in neighboring Laos.”
