ASIA-PACIFIC, MAY 8, 2013 –Bates CHI&Partners has lured Havas Worldwide’s digital strategist Todd Martin as its new regional head of digital and social.
Martin will assume office in a few weeks, flying from Sydney to the agency’s regional headquarters in Singapore to work with CEO David Mayo and chief strategy officer Mark Sinnock. The move is part of the consolidation of the agency’s digital and social foothold in Asia-Pacific.
Martin joins Bates CHI&Partners with over 20 years of experience in building up digital and social businesses across global markets including US, the UK and Asia-Pacific.
He was notably one of the Amnesia Group’s owners, a digital agency that grew in 10 years to become the largest of its kind in Australia.
About his new role, Martin says, “I’ve been inspired by David and the group of unique and talented individuals I’ve met at Bates CHI&Partners in Singapore and the UK. Their passion for provocative innovation and creative relevance is a solid formula for success – both for the client and for their customers."
"Todd’s unique background in social, digital and building business means that we will feel his impact almost immediately. We have big ambitions and Todd is going to help us fulfill them," says Mayo.
