South East Asia MD Stuart Edwards said the foundations were now in place for Asia’s most talented and agile digital communication and platform build team.

“At Lowe Profero we like to work differently, utilizing a unique mix of creative, technology and media to solve client’s problems, rather than simply servicing their accounts,” he said.

“The addition of Andrew, Harry and Abhi to an already exceptional team gives us the opportunity to rapidly respond to client needs, effectively and efficiently across the region.

“I genuinely believe the creation of this new digital ‘A Team’ offers us a real competitive advantage over any other agency currently operating in South East Asia,” he added.

Lowe Profero co-founder and Global CEO Wayne Arnold said that the team growth and opportunity driven by client activity in the region was extraordinary.

“Clients are getting really serious about the digital spend and the talent they want from their partners. It is a credit to Stuart and the team that they have been able to build such a skilled and agile team” he said.

“Lowe Profero have been in the region for over a decade and we have never seen a more exciting and exhilarating time to be in the industry and the region, which is a real credit to the local and global teams,” he added.
