Singapore HAVI GLOBAL SOLUTIONS (ASIA PACIFIC) LLC Full time
A visionary, critical & problem solver skilled at developing exciting culturally led strategies.

An excellent storyteller who can forge senior global client relationships and become their trusted go-to person for all things strategy in Asia/MEA.


You love getting under the skin of a brand, culture, and customers to identify and unlock opportunities that grow brand value with insightful, creative solutions.


You have the itch to make your mark and a desire to test your strategic mettle on a client's business to help transform a client's business beyond the limitations of a single campaign - multi-year projects and plans excite you.

You are at a top-tier agency or even consultancy looking for a new, ambitious challenge. One that has real-world impact. You are bored of writing ethereal strategy decks that go nowhere. And frustrated that your Marcom strategies communicate transformational change but are not always the instigator of it.

Experienced working with global brands, you have natural authority and a confident presence that you wear lightly with a smile.

**What can we do together?
McDonald's Family is a cornerstone of the brand representing $8 billion in revenue every year.


It's undergoing one of the most exciting transformation initiatives in world marketing, as the brand responds to changing customer behavior (a shift from being a restaurant brand to a connected food service) and a need to become a more relevant part of Culture.


The transformation is ambitious in scale, with a wide range of innovation projects covering all aspects of the Family business: brand positioning, sustainability & brand purpose, Marcom, digital experience, food & packaging, toy development, brand partnerships, and retail.

The Marketing Store (TMS), a HAVI company, is one of the few top-tier global agencies working on this project.

Within this set-up we are NOT playing a traditional 'BTL' role; we are a respected lead agency across all aspects of Family, but with specific responsibility as the Happy Meal global lead agency.

Success is injecting relevancy and fresh equity into the 40-year-old Happy Meal brand for generations to come, pushing boundaries of what's possible, winning awards, and raising the profile of the agency.


As the McDonald's Family Associate Strategy Director for Asia/MEA, you will be instrumental in leading strategy & Calendar Planning in Asia / MEA, as well as working with the Global Family Strategy Lead on the development of global activations for Happy Meal.
