Reporting to Khun Punnee Chaiyakul, chairman, Ogilvy & Mather Thailand, Tan’s key objective is to transform OgilvyOne from an offline CRM base discipline into an online customer centric digital business unit with a stronger digital creative presence.

Prior to her promotion, Tan was shopper and retail strategic planning director at OgilvyAction Thailand, a role she held for two years.

Chaiyakul said that, having helped build OgilvyAction Thailand from the ground up, Tan has a proven track record for driving growth.
