SINGAPORE
- Ogilvy & Mather today announced the appointment of Jason Hill as the agency's Chief Strategy Officer (CSO) in Singapore, effective immediately. Building on his 10 years with Ogilvy across two markets, Hill's new role will see him leading Singapore's strategy group across a broad range of capabilities including brand planning, customer engagement, channel, data analytics and social strategy.

Previously as O&M Singapore's Head of Consulting & Data Analytics, Hill led teams of strategy and data specialists to combine customer insights and data analytics with creative interpretation to develop strategic solutions for some of the agency's largest local and international clients.

Chris Riley, Group Chairman, Ogilvy & Mather Singapore, said, 'Jason has been a tremendous asset to our team in Singapore, having made significant contributions across many clients since joining us in mid-2015. As our strategic offering continues to evolve, he will be instrumental in relentlessly applying different combinations of strategic skills from within the group to enhance our creative solutions and help clients to unlock value from their customers and brands. Jason is a natural leader with a knack for award-winning strategy and execution, and he will continue to push the boundaries in his new role.'

Prior to his 2015 move to Singapore, Hill spent eight years in Australia as Head of Strategy at OgilvyOne Sydney, leading the strategic development of creative campaigns, CRM programs and strategic consulting projects. With over two decades of strategic marketing experience in senior agency, client and consulting roles, Hill brings substantial expertise in areas such as Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Value Proposition Development, Strategic Business Planning, and Data-led Communications Strategies.

Jason Hill, Chief Strategy Officer, Ogilvy & Mather Singapore, said, 'We are very fortunate to have such a broad spectrum of deep strategic capabilities within the group. With the uptake of digital happening at such a rapid rate in Asia, the need for brands to interpret and apply data insights is absolutely critical in ensuring business growth and competitive advantage. I am looking forward to leading even greater collaboration between this talented group of strategists as we guide our clients towards creating ever more impactful work'.
