Omnicom Media Group appoints Clint Easthorpe as chief executive in Thailand

Easthorpe joined from Faulkner Media Management, an Australia-based media consultancy, where he helped develop and later establish its regional office in Singapore. Prior to Faulkner, he was with OMD Malaysia.

Easthorpe will report directly to Barry Cupples, chief executive of the network’s regional operations.

Cupples said: “We're delighted to have Clint rejoin the ranks. He is a well-established agency leader, especially in our part of the world, and I believe his strong insights would be an asset to our business. He has the right skill set to build on our group’s established position in Thailand as a leading media services company and further enhance our existing capability and offering to our clients.”

“Omnicom Media Group has grown a lot over the last couple of years to become one of the fastest growing networks in the region. I’m very excited to be working with the team here in Thailand to look forward to taking the OMD and PHD brands to even greater heights,” added Easthorpe.

Last week, PHD named Howard Smith as managing director of its office in Singapore.
