Dentsu Singapore has experienced a massive transformational change in the last two years to become one of the best integrated marketing experts, by not being contented with simply doing what everyone is doing. The agency has worked hard to push boundaries and I look forward to riding through this journey in partnership with Rosalynn and the team, and taking the Dentsu proposition out to market.”

 

“In the last 18 months our staff strength has grown by 15% to 90 team members, and we aim to future-proof our agency as more global clients choose us as their Agency of Record,” added Tay. “Wong is a fundamental hire to the team, as she heightens our enthusiasm for what’s in store for us in 2015 and beyond. She brings a wealth of experience and proven success across industries, and her ambitions and aspirations match ours perfectly.”
