Bangkok - Saatchi & Saatchi Thailand has launched
Live Creativity, a social and content creation hub designed to amplify the
reach of Thai advertisers through the power of social networks.
Live Creativity will collaborate with internal
ideas and production departments to create unique campaigns that harness
consumers’ evolving behaviour on social media platforms. Through real-time
response production and strategically created content, Live Creativity will fuel
positive on-going conversations between brands and consumers.
“Thailand has the highest social platform
engagement in South East Asia,” says Mark Cochrane, CEO of Saatchi &
Saatchi Thailand. “In the Age of Now brands need to move at the rate of culture
and have an active presence where conversations are happening - which is
increasingly on screen and online. Live Creativity will give our clients the
expertise and capability to respond in a creative and strategic way.”
With the progression of real-time media
serving on social and broadcast platforms, Live Creativity gives brands the
opportunity to produce ‘live’ ideas that can evolve and react to the constant
changing nature of consumer media engagement.
“We
are continually looking for ways to meet the future needs of our clients across
the region,” says Chris Foster, Chairman and CEO of Saatchi & Saatchi
Asia-Pacific. “‘Live Creativity’ is one approach. Another instance is the
integration of Saatchi & Saatchi Arachnid into our Singapore agency. We
have invested in our digital teams in Australasia, reconfigured operations in
India, and will continue to learn our way through to the future with our
clients’ needs at the center of everything we do. ‘Fast, nimble and decisive’
is where we want to be.”
As part of the Live Creativity team,
Saatchi & Saatchi Thailand has expanded with the addition of Monta
Neinberga (Content Director/Editor), Puntakarn Wungpaisarn (Social Planner),
Mark Clothier (Associate Creative Director/Screenwriter), Aitthipat Boonkumol
(Digital and Content Producer), and Orathai Maneechot (Social Journalist).
"We are firmly focused on being the most
progressive social, content creation, and ideas company in Thailand,” says
Cochrane. “With this new department and the addition of experienced talent, the
Live Creativity model will help us achieve that.”
Live Creativity is already working globally
with AJE-owned beverage brand, Big Cola, and locally in the Thai market with Thanachart
Bank and Electrolux.
