Following the global success of the 45th IAA World Congress 2024, hosted right here in Malaysia, the momentum continues with a diverse and dynamic leadership team ready to chart our next chapter.
Meet Your 2025/26 IAAM Leadership:
John D Chacko – President & Past Chairman, 45th IAA World Congress, 2024
Dr. Milan Agnihotri – Vice President & Head of Strategy and Growth, Dentsu Group Malaysia
Amy Chia – Honorary Secretary & Past ED IAA World Congress

We also warmly welcome Omar Shaari, immediate past Vice President, into his new role as Senior Advisor, continuing his invaluable guidance and leadership
The AGM was also a moment of reflection and gratitude. Thank you to all our corporate members and guests for your active participation — and to Dentsu Malaysia for generously hosting us.
We’re just getting started. The newly elected EXCO is already at work — further refining our strategy, engaging members, and gearing up for impactful programs ahead.
At IAAM, we remain firmly aligned with the IAA’s global mission — to be the Global Compass for Marketing Communications.
We continue to further refine our local focus: To be an international network of marketing communications professionals, offering members affordable access to creativity, innovation, and sustainability expertise — empowering them to grow their people and businesses while staying globally relevant and competitive.
