Jeremy Seow wraps up six-year stint at Allison Worldwide

Jeremy Seow (pictured) has departed Allison Worldwide after more than six years with the agency, most recently serving as regional chief operating officer and head of client experience for Asia Pacific.

In a LinkedIn post, Seow reflected on a tenure that began in March 2020, just days before Singapore entered COVID-19 lockdown. During that time, he took on roles across Asia Pacific and helped grow different parts of the agency’s business.

The departure comes as Allison Worldwide (formerly known as Allison+Partners), owned by Stagwell, marks its 25th anniversary this year.

Reflecting on his time at the agency, Seow highlighted the opportunity to work with clients across the region, build long-standing professional relationships and collaborate with teams across its APAC operations.

“I’m proud of what we built together and grateful for everything I learned along the way.”

“More than anything, though, I’ll remember the people,” he wrote, thanking former colleagues on the APAC and global leadership teams, as well as the Singapore team.

He also thanked Allison Worldwide’s founders Scott Allison, Andy Hardie-Brown, Scott Pansky and Jonathan Heit, who served as his line manager for more than five years, as well as his most recent line manager, Margaret Key. 

“I was incredibly fortunate to work with some brilliant clients across the region. Thank you for trusting me and our teams with your businesses, your challenges, and sometimes the difficult moments that mattered most. Some of those relationships have lasted across jobs, companies and years, and I’m enormously grateful for them.”

Seow did not disclose details of his next move, saying only: “As for me, it’s time for something new. I’ll share more in the coming weeks.”

Allison Worldwide is a global integrated marketing and communications agency offering services across corporate affairs, brand strategy, reputation management, content, experiential marketing and predictive analytics. According to its website, it operates across 45 countries and 92 cities, with more than 13,000 team members across its global network and affiliate partners.

Its recent work includes a Super Bowl campaign for Dexcom to raise awareness of continuous glucose monitoring technology for diabetes, and Corona’s Global Plastic Fishing Tournament, which mobilised fishing communities across six countries to collect ocean plastic and promote recycling.

Last year, Key was appointed CEO of Allison Asia and executive director for Asia Pacific at Stagwell. The agency also named Kelvyn Foo general manager of its Singapore office. 

MARKETING-INTERACTIVE has reached out to Seow for further information, while Stagwell declined to comment.
