Face Names Andrew Ho MD in Asia

Cello-owned co-creation agency Face has appointed Andrew Ho as Managing Director of its recently opened operations in Asia.

Face, which also has offices in London and New York, has dedicated teams of planners, researchers and social media specialists who work on new product development, concept generation, brand insight and positioning projects.

In October, the company expanded to Asia with the opening of two new offices in Singapore and Hong Kong. In his new role, Ho will work alongside Daniel Tompsett, the Global Commercial Director of Face Asia, who relocated to Hong Kong in the autumn to set up the regional offices.

Ho (pictured) joins with more than fifteen years' experience working in Asia, as a client, consultant and advertising strategist. Most recently, he worked as Consultancy Director at M&C Saatchi-owned marketing and strategy business Clear Ideas Asia, where he led the firm's North Asia operation. Prior to this he worked as an agency planner at DDB HK & Guangzhou, and as Regional Strategic Planning Director of Saatchi & Saatchi Asia. Earlier in his career, he worked in brand management at Procter & Gamble Australasia.

Andrew Needham, founding Partner and CEO of Face, added: 'We are delighted to be adding someone of Andrew's calibre and experience to the Face team. He will be a key force together with Daniel in driving the Face growth in Asia-Pacific, and working with companies to be more socially intelligent by helping them understand and co-create with people at an individual, group and network level.'
