“In these difficult times, we will need thought leadership to help our clients to communicate and spend smartly, and be relevant to the local consumers,” said Kitty Lun, chairman/CEO of Lowe China.

“It was my mission to find a strong Chinese head of planning indigenous to the country and culture, with the best consumer insight. I consider getting him to join us is a really fantastic boost to our agency's offering,” she added.
