Hawkins will take on the new role in addition to his current role, reporting into Takaki Hibino, CEO Dentsu and Dentsu media Asia Pacific, and Rosalynn Tay, CEO Dentsu Aegis Network Singapore.

Hawkins joined Dentsu in 2012 when he launched digital unit Dentsu Möbius for the network. The agency has amassed global clients including Singapore Airlines, Mondelēz International and Disney Studios, to its roster.

Hawkins, said: “I am ready to scale new heights with our great pool of talent with the support and resources of the network, I believe we can produce truly innovative, award-winning work for our clients.”
