The Hoffman Agency extends footprint into Thailand

The Hoffman Agency has officially announced its expansion into Thailand. The agency has been setting the foundations for its presence in the market over the past year, having hired its first Thailand team member in November.

Led by Prangthong Jitcharoenkul (PJ), who brings experience in foreign affairs and public government policy news reporting, as well as work with international organisations focussed on sustainability, climate change and wildlife conservation, the office now has a staff of four and is looking to continue expanding.

Hoffman has supported clients in Thailand since the early 2000s through partnerships, with key clients including Tencent and Western Digital Corporation. In recent years, demand for local support has increased as the nation aims to become a centre for the digital economy and technological innovation.

The agency will provide solutions beyond traditional PR, with the aim to empower multinational and local companies with IMC services that solve business problems and drive growth. Practice areas include Techplomacy - helping businesses stay on top of geopolitical issues and shifting regulations; employer branding and talent acquisition strategy; and bespoke executive training.

Bringing the total number of APAC offices to 10, Hoffman Thailand is part of One SEA, a cross-border team led by Maureen Tseng, Managing Director of Southeast Asia, that also spans Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia.

"Thailand is a vibrant market in a region that's becoming a vital part of the global tech supply chain," said Maureen Tseng, Managing Director of Southeast Asia. "We see a keen appetite from both multinationals to grow their presence in Thailand and innovative local players to expand internationally. As the nation evolves and matures, the need for a tech specialist that fuses global experience with local insight is clear."

Current Global MENAT fetches new pet care business win

Current Global MENAT has been appointed as the PR partner for Paws & Co., a new pet care, health and wellness business preparing to launch in the UAE.

The agency will lead the brand’s launch in the UAE, supporting the business’s ambition to create a connected pet healthcare ecosystem.

Peter Jacob, Managing Director, Current Global MENAT, said, “As a father of two dogs, I know first-hand that there isn’t a shortage of vets. With Paws & Co., this isn’t simply about another entrant into the market. Paws & Co. is founded on the idea of changing how people think about pet healthcare and building a brand and an experience designed around the needs of pets, pet parents and veterinary professionals.”

Matt Butterworth, Co-Founder Paws & Co. said, “For many pets and pet parents, the current process is fragmented, reactive and clinical yet the way people see their pets has changed, and frankly the veterinary experience hasn’t evolved at the same pace. From the beginning, we wanted to rip up the institutionalised playbook and build a pet healthcare experience that feels different. Pets are family, and their care should be personal, consistent and reassuring. In Pete and the Current Global team we have a partner that gets us and understands our intention and wider growth ambitions.”

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.”
