Indrajaya added, “I look forward to the challenges of working in such a fast changing and exciting market like Vietnam, and also to partnering Tue Nguyen, Hendra Lesmono and the local creative team to lift our creative profile in Vietnam though innovative changengage solutions.”
Yerry will work on bates Vietnam’s key clients including Diageo and Nivea for Men.
