Design Bridge 40 not out

Singapore - Design Bridge Asia has hired Alex Marquez and Jake Crockatt as director of brand strategy and implementation director respectively, bringing the agency's headcount to 40.

The UK-originated Design Bridge launched in Singapore in 2003 with just two members, and the latest recruits beef up the agency's strategic brand solution offer.

Marquez has many years experience as a strategist and consultant to clients such as Samsung and Unilever on brand strategy and innovation. While Crockatt has over 8 years experience in creative design and production art management, six of which were in Asia Pacific region handling clients such as Procter & Gamble and Microsoft.   

"Getting the right talent is even more crucial in a downturn, as it gives us the additional competitive advantage in a tight market," Mark Budden, MD for Design Bridge Asia, said.
