Her appointment aligns with our approach of offering senior, specialist counsel to clients across the region under a one P&L model, without silos. She will also support the work we are doing to further embed and make use of new technologies in the way we operate and deliver work for clients as they strive for greater efficiency from agency partners.”

Kelly Johnston, Chief Operating Officer, Sandpiper, said: “The COVID-19 pandemic has amplified the challenges companies face balancing performance marketing to drive short term sales results, with long term investments in brand and reputation to build stakeholder trust. Recognising this, we are growing the bench of senior talent at the core of our business with expertise covering research & insights, digital, technology, and social impact. This helps our clients better understand their changing landscape, identify where the greatest impact can be derived, how to do this efficiently, and measure results effectively.”

Anu Noto-Menon, Digital and Content Strategist, Sandpiper, said: “Working on the client side I have seen first-hand the opportunity and need for more specialist digital and content advisory and solutions tailored towards the unique needs of Asia Pacific. The region is culturally diverse and complex and digital marketing technologies and tools are constantly evolving, at a rapid rate. The ability to forecast, plan and implement scalable digital campaigns is crucial. The goal is to use our team’s extensive regional insights and experience to help clients develop the right strategies and digital infrastructure to meet their business objectives.”
