Goals
Seven objectives have been identified for members in this group:
- An industry voice for brands, by brands: to feel and act on the belief that we are stronger marketers together than we may be alone, recognised as a source to learn from and be represented by;
- Bring the W in WFA to life: to bring our APAC centric view to the global table and champion the region as “a net exporter, not a net importer” of marketing best practices – that live and thrive on their own;
- Local deployment and relevance: to ensure our initiatives resonate locally and are supported by key markets in APAC, enabling the success of our regional agenda;
- A vibrant WFA community: to attract new organisations into the WFA network, bringing new perspectives and revitalising WFA’s existing community in APAC;
- Leadership: to connect with a community of top-level like-minded peers representing the client-side marketing community in APAC, influencing and shaping the industry globally;
- Inspiration: to share practical examples, solutions, experiences under the Chatham House rule and stay abreast of the latest thinking or alternative perspectives related to better, more effective, and sustainable marketing;
- Career progression: to learn from one another, grow, develop our capabilities together, and accelerate our professional journey, possibly beyond marketing. To evolve the perception of the role and value of the CMO in a company’s boardroom.
Commitment
Our Asia Advisory board reflects the diversity of the region, with a mix of global, regional, and local marketers, brands, and sectors. All members are currently based within the region.
The Board meets on a bi-monthly basis, in addition to participating in other WFA Forums taking place in the region e.g. CMO APAC or Media APAC.
