Ong Hock Chuan, Managing Partner of Maverick Indonesia, has been appointed chair of One Asia Communications (OAC), a network of independent communications agencies spanning 12 Asian markets, for the 2025-2027 term.
The appointment was made following a members’ vote during the network’s annual gathering in Bangkok. At the event, OAC also released its regional white paper, "AI Adoption among PR Professionals in Asia 2025", which examines how communications practitioners across the region are adapting to AI technologies.
“Many brands and corporations will need help in navigating this increasingly complicated and interlinked communications landscape,” Ong said. “OAC is here to help them do just that, as on top of our Generative Engine Optimisation capabilities, we also have deep local knowledge of the markets where we operate.”
He added, “OAC is different from other communications networks in that it melds the commitment and in-depth business understanding of owner-operated agencies into a Pan-Asian network capable of serving clients operating in the region.”
