Skinner was appointed to run Initiative’s Hong Kong office in 2007 after departing his role as managing director for ZenithOptimedia Hong Kong. Of his appointment at Universal McCann, Skinner told Media that it is a great opportunity to grow the two brands building on what they have already achieved. “Both are strong digital brands, which we can bring to the Universal McCann client”.
At Universal McCann, Skinner‘s key clients will include Coca-Cola.
