Award-winning creative network GUT has announced its first office in Asia with the launch of GUT Singapore, marking its 10th location worldwide.
The new office will be led by Jessica Davey, who joins GUT as Managing Director, along with Chief Creative Officer Carlos Camacho, formerly of DAVID, and Head of Strategy Belynda Sim-Mak, former Cultural Strategy Lead at Le Pub APAC. They will all report to GUT Global CEO Andrea Diquez.
Additional hires for Singapore operations include Group Account Director Liz Leow, who joins the agency from ADK, and Creative Director Meyvi Wedelia, most recently at Toaster.
The network’s latest expansion announcement follows the launch of GUT New York just last month, the creation of the Globant GUT Network, which was unveiled at Cannes in June, and the opening of GUT Madrid earlier this year.
”It’s amazing to be able to open our first office in Asia, and tenth overall, after just six years. This move makes GUT a truly global agency network that can service clients anywhere in the world. Having worked in the region, I know firsthand the incredible opportunity this market represents,” said Andrea Diquez, Global CEO.
“I am thrilled to welcome Jess, Carlos and Belynda, three experts in this dynamic and diverse region, to help further accelerate our incredible growth.”
Davey added: “I am incredibly honored to be leading GUT’s first office in Asia. Singapore’s diversity, innovative spirit, and vibrant energy are a perfect fit for GUT’s brave creative approach.
”I’m excited to build on GUT’s unparalleled momentum and further drive growth in this dynamic market.”
