Amit Sutha elevated to EVP, ED of Global Business for Mediabrands Content Studio
20 Jan
Interpublic has appointed Amit Sutha as EVP, Executive Director Global Business for its new creative practice, Mediabrands Content Studio (MBCS). Prior to this announcement, Amit was the CEO of the media agency, UM Malaysia and the creative agency he founded, Ensemble Malaysia.
MBCS which was launched in November of last year by the Global Chief Content Officer of Mediabrands, Brendan Gaul, is designed to network and grow the content capabilities within Mediabrands’ agencies – UM, Initiative, Reprise, Rapport, MAGNA and Orion around the world.
“I’m honored to be joining Brendan and the MBCS Global team and its vision of integrating new and innovative content models more tightly into client solutions will only make Mediabrands’ work for clients stronger,” Amit said. “I’ve seen time and time again, data-driven content actually makes our media product better and I look forward to building on MBCS’s early success and in forging new relationships with our partners globally.”
In his new role, Amit will remain APAC-based and oversee the development and deployment of specialized content capabilities and teams across Mediabrands’ top markets, reporting directly to Brendan.
“(Amit) doesn’t look at media and creative separately; he builds both from data, bringing a unique understanding of the client’s high value audiences,” Brendan said. “He is a champion of great creative that moves a client’s business and makes one rethink the way of looking at integrated solutions.”
MARKETING Magazine is not responsible for the content of external sites.
After 20 years of evolving technology, shifting market trends, and adapting to changing consumer behaviour, the media landscape has nearly reached saturation.
We’ve optimised to the fullest, providing advertisers with abundant choices across technology, platforms, data-driven marketing, CTV, OTT, DOOH, influencer marketing, retail, etc.
Media specialists have diversified, but with more options comes the challenge of maintaining income growth. The industry is expanding, but revenue isn’t keeping pace.
Now, we’re at a TURNING POINT: time to explore and harness new sustainable revenue streams. While GroupM forecasts a 7.8% global ad revenue growth in 2024, challenges like antitrust regulation, AI and copyright issues, and platform bans persist.
Collaboration is key: partnerships that thrive on synergy, shared values, and aligned goals are becoming increasingly essential.
Hence, the Malaysian Media Conference, in its 20th year, has assembled the partners and players under one roof on October 25 for a day of learning, sharing, and exploring.
