In her new role, Tan will report into Burgess and oversee all Shanghai office operations, including the development and delivery of integrated communications strategy and solutions for agency clients. Working closely with Nicky Wang, Managing Director of Strategy, Tan will also help drive new business and growth efforts across all areas of the business.

“Bee is a trusted client advisor who will elevate our team’s ability to deliver integrated solutions that deliver real business impact,” Wang said. “We are thrilled to have her onboard to help the agency maintain its forward-thinking, competitive offerings and achieve sustained growth in the years to come.”
