In a phone interview with Campaign Singapore today, Steven said that Joseph would bring with him a new level of professionalism as well as an international set of standards - both of which were needed to take the agency to the next level.

"It's great to have him on board and to see where his vision for the industry as a whole takes the group," said Steven. "It's time for new people on board with wider exposure in the business," he added.
