Vocanic announces first wins since new CEO appointment

Vocanic has announced its first new business wins since the appointment of Shreeniwas Iyer as CEO, with four new clients joining the fold including Johnnie Walker.

The announcement:

SINGAPORE, 29th September 2016 – Local social agency Vocanic announces four new clients over the months of August and September. The new clients include FMCG brand Perfect Italiano, single malt whisky brand The Singleton and blended whisky juggernaut Johnnie Walker. Vocanic also begins its professional association with national statutory board, The People’s Association, a joint client with GroupM and its Central Media Services (CMS) division.

Vocanic will be responsible for content strategy and production, as well as community management for Perfect Italiano, The Singleton and Johnnie Walker, and will lead pivotal social media campaigns surrounding the themes of social cohesion and racial harmony for The People’s Association.

The wins represent an extension of Vocanic’s existing working relationship with Fonterra, the New Zealand-based dairy co-operative that holds Perfect Italiano, Diageo, the world-renowned producer of spirits including The Singleton, and Moët Hennessy Diageo, whose wide portfolio includes Johnnie Walker. It also marks the agency’s first step into the public sector with The People’s Association.

Niky Sakhrani, Vocanic’s business development director, attributed the multi-industry wins to Vocanic’s legacy in the Singapore market. “We’re known for some high profile work in the Singapore market, and have established very positive relationships with these clients,” she said. “We brought these learnings into our pitches, maintaining a good level of communication with the client.

Vocanic Account Director Tramaine Teo, who led the pitches for Perfect Italiano, The Singleton and Johnnie Walker added that Vocanic’s drive and ambition was highly critical, saying, “The passion and motivation behind those presentations demonstrated to the clients our hunger for their success, which paved our way in.

These wins mark a successful start to new CEO Shreeniwas Iyer’s tenure. As Ms Sakhrani pointed out, “We’re definitely not resting on our laurels. We’re constantly working to expand our reach – not just in Singapore, but across the region. The kind of creative, social and digital solutions that Vocanic provides will push brands that work with us to the forefront of the modern, superconnected marketplace.”
