Riassunto

justinphang.com

Human attention is finite.

But Justin has drawn an abundance of it to brands like Nike, Airbnb, BMW, McDonald's, Michelin (Global), and many more. Spanning his career from Australia to Malaysia and now, China over the course of 13 years; he is armed with the ability to marry western ingenuity with eastern tenacity. And he has infused this methodology into many brand building campaigns.

Justin’s philosophy has won businesses, Airbnb (twice), Budweiser, Michelin (Global), Malaysia Airlines (Oceanic, Europe and Asia) and led brands into award circuits. His proudest achievement to date though, is when the Malaysia Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development showered him and his team for driving a successful campaign against domestic violence.
