Susan Ho joins FGS Global in newly created role to lead regional growth and strategic advisory

FGS Global has appointed Susan Ho as Asia Chair. In this newly created role, she serves as a senior ambassador for the firm and is responsible for driving its multi-year growth strategy across Asia, providing strategic counsel to clients, and strengthening governance and collaboration across key markets and leadership teams.

This appointment sees Susan based in Hong Kong, while working closely with FGS Global's teams in Beijing, Shanghai, Singapore, and Tokyo. 

With more than 30 years of experience in branding, reputation, and crisis response, Susan brings in-house, business management, and professional services expertise, including currently serving as an Independent Non-Executive Director at Singapore's Mediacorp. 

“Susan’s appointment as Asia Chair reflects our commitment to investing in exceptional leadership and deepening our strategic advisory capabilities for clients across the region,” said Faeth Birch, CEO of UKMEA, FGS Global. “Susan’s experience in building brands, leading through complexity, and driving growth aligns perfectly with our ambitions for Asia. We are delighted to welcome her to the firm.”

Before joining FGS, Susan held global leadership roles at Airwallex, Brunswick Group, and Standard Chartered Bank, the latter in which she played a key role in establishing the bank's “Here for good” positioning and Liverpool Football Club sponsorship. Her portfolio further includes developing new brands, growing teams, and advising international and Asian clients on critical issues, leadership succession, and long-term campaign building.

“There has never been a more exciting yet challenging time in Asia," Susan remarked. "Businesses need critical advice and balanced perspectives to navigate complexities and uncertainties - FGS is trusted and best placed to help. I am privileged to work with a talented team to grow our coverage and ensure FGS is the first port of call for founders, business leaders and investors.”

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.”
