Ogilvy Malaysia names new CEO and Chief Creative Officer

Ogilvy Group Malaysia has named Irene Wong, CEO of Grey Malaysia, as CEO of Ogilvy Group Malaysia. In the new capacity, Irene will oversee people, clients, and growth across both Ogilvy and Grey.

Meanwhile, Graham Drew, Chief Creative Officer of Grey Malaysia, will take on a new role within the same remit at Ogilvy Group Malaysia, leading clients across both agency brands. Both appointments take effect on 1st January 2026.

Irene commented, “Stepping into this role draws on everything I’ve built over the years — a deep understanding of the Malaysian market, extensive experience with MNCs, GLCs and government organizations, and a firm belief in the power of collaboration. By honoring the distinct strengths of both Ogilvy and Grey, while preserving their unique identities and fostering purposeful partnership, we will unlock new possibilities, drive greater innovation, and create deeper, more holistic value for our clients.”

Graham said, “I’m passionate about the creative potential here and this role represents a unique opportunity I’m truly excited to embrace. Whilst Ogilvy and Grey continue to operate as distinct businesses, we are united by a shared creative culture — one that pushes us to elevate ideas that move people and move business. By innovating at the intersection of brand, experience, and commerce, and by bringing together craft, data, and technology, we’ll create work rooted in Malaysia with the power to resonate far beyond.”

3CPR launches AI-powered reporting dashboard

Specialist corporate and financial communications consultancy, 3CPR, has launched CLARIO, an AI-powered reporting dashboard.

CLARIO - standing for Clarity and Innovation - was developed in-house by 3CPR’s data scientist. It tracks media coverage outcomes and key programme metrics, allowing clients to access live reporting and download charts, graphs, and data for internal use.

According to the consultancy, unlike broader media monitoring platforms, CLARIO focuses on the work undertaken by 3CPR and the resulting outcomes. It has also enabled the agency to move from half-yearly or annual reporting to an always-on model, reducing the time required to compile reports manually.

3CPR Founding Partner, Paul Cheal, said: “Media outcomes remain a key metric for PR performance, but for too long we have been stuck using tedious, time-consuming spreadsheets and relying on reporting that focuses on hindsight. AI provides a generational opportunity to change our approach - linking our activity to tangible business outcomes and providing real time visibility of strategic opportunities.

“The CLARIO platform offers a near real time view of media outcomes, tailored to each organisation’s goals and KPIs. It provides significant time saving for PR teams and delivers greater transparency to clients.

“We have already received overwhelmingly positive feedback from our clients. In the spirit of lifting our profession as a whole, we are offering a white label version for corporates or agencies who want to revamp how they report on their proactive activities and media campaign outcomes.”
