On the digital production side, Japee is now the lead digital producer. He was the project manager at Blue Interactive from 2007 until 2009.

Lim takes the other digital producer role and has relocated from Yahoo UK to Singapore for the role.

Google AdWords certified Loh will be taking a search-marketing focused position at the agency as a digital planner. He was previously the APAC regional search marketing manager at Soho Square, a brand idea company under WPP. His work for non-profit campaign Smile Train won the Market Motive PPC Certification Scholarship in April.

"We increased the digital talent pool with several key hires in early 2010 and are continuing to do so until mid-year," said Jean-Paul Burge, CEO of BBDO/Proximity Singapore and president of Southeast Asia.
