Martin will move from Sydney to the agency’s Regional HQ in Singapore to work with CEO David Mayo and Chief Strategy Officer Mark Sinnock in a move designed to consolidate the agency’s digital and social foothold in Asia-Pacific.

Their passion for provocative innovation and creative relevance is a solid formula for success – both for the client and for their customers.”

“We seek the very best in clients, talent and leaders at Bates CHI & Partners. 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.
