share on

Saatchi & Saatchi Malaysia has promoted Gavin Teoh to senior account director.Teoh (pictured) joined the Malaysian agency two years ago as an associate account director and has played a crucial role in strengthening relationships with existing clients in Saatchi & Saatchi . He reports to Adrian Sng, managing director of Saatchi & Saatchi Malaysia, and continues to lead various account servicing teams at the agency.Teoh said: “The most important factor in managing a team is to first earn their respect and not demand it. It all starts with you. It is imperative that you lead by example and if you want your team to follow your philosophies, then don’t force it onto them – show them how it’s done. It is this earned respect that will allow for both a solid working and personal relationship – something that is key in creating good team dynamics.”Sng added that Teoh’s account management skills and strategic sense is a real asset to the agency, and his role as a pitch lead for new business pitches over the last two years helped the team win many new clients.“He has proven his strengths in running existing pieces of business and hunting down new accounts. Gavin is tenacious and never gives up, which is a quality that will serve him well in the years to come. His contributions to Saatchi & Saatchi are second to none and I look forward to working with him much more in the coming years ahead,” Sng said.Late last year Saatchi & Saatchi Malaysia also promoted Sng, previously the general manager of the agency to managing director. Sng (pictured) has been in the role of general manager for two years. This year alone Sng has led the agency to win four new business wins, including KDU and Paramount Corporation Berhad together with organic wins on Bank Simpanan Nasional, on top of nine wins in 2013.(Read also: Meet Saatchi & Saatchi Malaysia's Adrian Sng)
