Shane's passion for digital is infectious, and I'm certain that MediaCom and our clients are going to hugely benefit from his arrival," said Rahul Vasudev, MediaCom APAC's Head of Digital.
Discussing his new role, Shane said: "What attracted me to MediaCom is its vision of what an agency should be. Digital and data are my passions. MediaCom's approach to harnessing the ever-expanding data horizon gets me incredibly excited. It's a remarkable suite of proprietary tools which align the right content with the right connections across a marketer's entire system, and I am delighted to be a part of it."
