CUHK welcomes new Associate VP for Comms and PR

The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) has appointed Agnes Tsang as Associate Vice-President (Communications and Public Relations) for a term of three years. 

Overseeing the Office of Communications and Public Relations, Agnes is tasked with leading the University’s long-term communication strategy, strategic events management, community relations, and brand-building functions. She further supports senior management in internal and external stakeholder and partner relations.

Agnes was formerly the Head of External Affairs at Rosewood Hotel Group and Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Group. Prior to that, she was the Hong Kong Director of an international communications advisory firm contracted for a HKSAR Government branding project, the Government Relations and Public Affairs Director of an international business chamber, and a Senior Researcher at the Central Policy Unit of the HKSAR Government.

Following roles at international risk consultancies, the LegCo, Hong Kong Standard, and Reuters, Agnes also supported strategic communications and policy advocacy for NGOs, including WWF Hong Kong and Mother’s Choice.

An alumna of the University, Agnes commented on her appointment, "It is my honour to return to CUHK to serve in a capacity that supports the University’s communications and public relations efforts. With CUHK’s rising academic and student excellence, there are many great stories to be told to share our positive impact and build closer connections with the community.

"I hope my cross-sector experiences will add value to enhancing CUHK’s very well-established brand and I look forward to strengthening the University’s communication endeavours locally, nationally and internationally."

Industry update

TEAM LEWIS introduces integrated AI platform

TEAM LEWIS has launched version one of its AI operating system, Orbital (OS1), as part of its global offering. The platform is designed to connect insight, creativity, messaging and public-facing delivery.

Orbital combines data from across public relations, customer relationship management, paid media and web activity. It is structured around three pillars:

Intelligence
Orbital works with each organisation’s own data and context to identify the signals influencing reputation, demand and AI visibility.

Creativity
The platform helps teams turn insight into creative work, while preserving marketing judgement and originality.

Delivery
Orbital supports the people representing an organisation, spanning media interviews, keynote presentations and leadership moments.

Fairil Yeo, EVP of AI & Growth at TEAM LEWIS, said: “The advantage increasingly lies with organisations that can act quickly on what they already know. Orbital is designed to shorten the distance between insight and action - helping marketing and communications teams work more effectively across markets, channels and teams.”

Chief Operating Officer at TEAM LEWIS, Yvonne van Bokhoven, added: “Technology can connect information, but it cannot replace judgement. Orbital gives our specialists a clearer view of what matters, more quickly. The decisions - and the responsibility for making them well - remain human.”
