| | No Comments

72andSunny APAC_72Voices (1).jpg72 Voices was first developed by 72andSunny Sydney as an unbiased research project featuring interviews with 72 Australian cultural makers, thinkers and commentators. The project was inspired by being new in the region, and wanting to land, listen and learn from those shaping the landscape of Modern Australia.

The second edition, 72 Voices Singapore, is an in-depth exploration of the new creative class in one of the fastest growing cities in Asia. 72 interviews were conducted with people spanning diverse ages, backgrounds and industries, who in their own way are helping shape modern Singapore today.

Available as a book and open-source online report, the artwork was designed by world-renowned graphic designer David Carson and captures key themes, comments and opinions taken from the 72 interviews, as well as portraits of those interviewed taken by Jacqueline Chang, Zara Kok and Hwee En Tan.

Says Chris Kay, president and partner, 72andSunny APAC: “We wanted to keep learning about the world around us and building from the view of Modern Australia in 2018, it made sense to expand our footprint to one of our important neighbours in the region. Speaking to this breadth of inspiring people helps us to understand the modern creative class in Singapore a little better, and we were inspired by the lessons this can teach us as we look in, and beyond Australia, with our client partners.”
