Dog sets up shop in Indonesia with eyes on ASEAN region
Following a year of significant growth in 2014, creative agency Dog has opened a new office in Jakarta to service existing clients, while planning to grow the business across the ASEAN markets. In the past year, Dog has grown to over 80 staff across the business, adding to each of its now four offices in Glasgow, London, Singapore and Jakarta. The business has also moved to new premises in both Singapore and London to accommodate a larger number of staff.
“The year 2014 was one of Dog’s most exciting years yet. A series of client wins and growing existing business placed us in a strong position for 2015 and opened up a number of opportunities in Indonesia. Our strategy in Asia has focused on sustainable growth from the outset – getting the right people in place and maximizing opportunities. We’re very excited to open the office in Jakarta and have already strengthened our foothold in the market there,” commented Gerry McCusker, Chief Executive Officer, Dog.
News of the opening in Jakarta comes three years after Dog’s expansion from the UK into Singapore, where the business has been enjoying steady growth notching up clients including leading travel brand Tourism New Zealand, finance sector giant Aberdeen Asset Management, international cycle brand Shimano and global charity WWF.
Launched in 1996, Dog works with clients across a range of industries to deliver strategic consultancy, multi-disciplinary marketing, content creation, and digital design and development solutions.
Committed to growing the business in Asia, owners of the independent agency have spent considerable periods of time at both Singapore and Jakarta offices to ensure client service and business development strategies across the international offices are aligned, to encourage collaboration and to galvanise teams as the business grows.
