Agency's First Location in Asia

    R/GA, the agency for the digital age(TM), is pleased to announce the 
opening of R/GA Singapore. The office will serve as R/GA's Asia-Pacific hub and 
its formation was prompted by the agency's winning MasterCard's global business 
in 2009.

    R/GA Singapore is in the process of building its staff, which is expected 
to grow to 15 in 2010; plans to announce key hires are forthcoming. The office 
looks to develop additional accounts in the region as it expands not only its 
team but also its multidisciplinary capabilities.

    "Singapore is a hotbed for ingenuity and innovation. We're proud to be able 
to establish roots in a region that is quickly becoming an epicenter for great 
design," said Bob Greenberg, chairman, CEO, and global chief creative officer. 
"Our creative culture is the backbone of our agency, and it influences the 
quality of work we develop. We look forward to broadening our international 
presence and welcoming Singapore design into our culture."

    Each of R/GA's offices operates under a new advertising agency model that 
emphasizes collaboration across teams and merges creative excellence with 
technological innovation. The agency focuses on understanding consumers and 
their motivations while uncovering cultural insights, which ultimately lead to 
valuable and utility-driven experiences.

    R/GA's portfolio of innovative work has led to industry accolades at 
international competitions including the Cannes Titanium and Cyber Lions Grand 
Prix, D&AD Black Pencil, and the International ANDY GRANDY, among other top 
honors. The agency has raised the bar, changing the industry's ideas on how 
brands can transform their relationships with consumers. Because of R/GA's 
achievements, Bob Greenberg was recently named president of the design jury for 
this year's Spikes Asia Advertising Festival.
