TBWA's Andre set to relocate to New York

HONG KONG - TBWA's regional director for Asia-Pacific, Emmanuel André (pictured), is due to relocate to the Omnicom agency's New York office after a two-year stint in Hong Kong.

Tom Carroll, who recently took over from Jean-Marie Dru as the network’s chief executive, noted that André’s cultural perceptiveness and enthusiasm for Asia would be a valuable asset in New York.

“He will be bringing Asia to New York,” Carroll said, explaining that André would be responsible for maintaining connectivity between both markets to fuel development.

Carroll did not confirm the date of André’s transfer.
