Creative innovation studio R/GA has promoted Michael Titshall to the new position of CEO of Asia Pacific.
Titshall for the past four and a half years has led R/GA Australia’s operations in Melbourne, Sydney, and, most recently, Canberra.
In his expanded role, he will now also oversee R/GA’s Asia offices, partnering closely with R/GA’s executive leadership team in the region.
In Australia, Victoria Curro will continue as MD with chief creative officer Seamus Higgins and Ben Miles, VP, executive creative director co-leading the company’s creative team.
Titshall said it’s an exciting time for R/GA in APAC.
"Our ability to deliver creative and innovative experiences that deeply connect with people is more crucial than ever for brands in such a fast-paced region," he said.
"I feel incredibly fortunate to embark on this new chapter at R/GA, and continue working with such a skilled and inspiring team, not just in Australia, but now also extending that collaboration into Asia. The capabilities that we have across the region are already impressive, and I'm looking forward to the impact we can achieve working even closer together.”
Robin Forbes, global CEO of R/GA, said Titshall is an exceptional business leader.
"He’s become known for driving the industry forward by creating environments that enable people to do the best work of their careers, creating boundary-pushing work that combine our distinct capabilities," said Forbes.
"Under his leadership, R/GA Australia has been a shining example of how to produce creatively-led innovative work, and we look forward to watching him expand his expertise at R/GA by leading our new APAC region."
