Isobar, the global digital agency. Sue has returned to the UK and will be

this month, Isobar launched its Nairobi agency, the first global Digital Agency

The agency also recently
acquired global ecommerce company eCommera and a key element of Sue’s remit
will be to drive Isobar’s brand commerce expertise forward across Isobar’s
twenty four (currently) EMEA markets as well as leading management and
development of key EMEA clients.
Isobar Global CEO Jean Lin

record in leading agencies and stewarding best in class clients, combined with
her world-view, will be brought to bear in ensuring that the best possible
service is given to our EMEA clients. She will also be a key player in building
our business within the Dentsu Aegis Network and in attracting new clients to
our agency”.
Prior to her return to the
UK, Sue was based in Asia for some 20+ years, the latter three of which were
spent leading Publicis Hong Kong, with clients including UBS, AXA and Cartier.
During this time, Sue also was Chair of the 4A’s Hong Kong and was on the
launch team for the Marketing Society Asia Pacific. She is expert in leading
pitches, and her Client management and business development track record
includes multi-national brands such as P&G, UBS and Western Union, where
she led the winning pitch and then developed the business across 200+ markets.
Sue McCusker added: “Joining Isobar at a time of such positive momentum under Jean’s leadership presents me with a great opportunity to be front and centre of the next wave of digital communications. Isobar’s commitment to being at the forefront of the Brand Commerce era is testament to that momentum. It’s also a very interesting time for our industry across EMEA. I’m excited to be here.
