DMCG Global welcomes Ben Roberts as managing partner across our APAC locations. Ben will play a pivotal role in launching our new subscription-based talent product to the market, bringing with him nearly 20 years of recruitment and HR experience across the digital media, creative and technology space.
Ben previously worked in-house and led the APAC Talent function at WPP agency Essence, growing the headcount from 200 to 600 people, whilst also opening up new markets across the region. Prior to that, Ben was head of talent for Publicis Communications, where he worked across world famous creative agencies such as Saatchi & Saatchi and Leo Burnett across multiple geographies.
During his time at Saatchi & Saatchi, Ben also successfully filled numerous C-Level roles, as well as many other key leadership positions globally.
Commenting on why he decided to join DMCG Global, Ben noted: "Having been a client of DMCG for the last few years and the pleasure of working with Justin, Adam and Jack over time, it was a no brainer to be a part of such a dynamic and fun organisation that delivers fantastic results for their clients."
Justin McGuire, co-founder and CEO of DMCG Global, APAC and MENA, added: "We’re very pleased that Ben has joined our network where he will be spearheading the launch of our new product - ‘Talent Partnerships’. A fixed price subscription based recruitment model that is cost effective and perfectly suited to fast growth businesses. There is no doubt Ben’s experience, knowledge and connections within the industry will be a valuable addition to the DMCG Global network. I look forward to growing this business with him."
