About me
Richard's first forays into account management were with the agency groups JWT London and Ogilvy & Mather Scotland. A keen explorer, Richard moved to New Zealand in 1991 and joined AIM Direct/Proximity in Auckland. His fully integrated background led to DDB New Zealand appointing him to develop their specialist
Richard then headed to Asia in 2004 to lead DDB Singapore as Group Managing Director and three years later the fast growing, integrated marketing agency, Iris Nation
Richard’s exposure to the region, expert handling of clients, and experience in the business and branding needs of global and Asian companies, makes him an invaluable resource, and one well positioned to help companies find, and drive value, from their agencies.
